PLANET KOLDAS
By Carl van Vlierden
and Wendelle C.Stevens
PREFACE BY THE PUBLISHER
This is a most remarkable account of a series of unbelievable (ongoing, -in-86) events
experienced in full physical reality by a great number of sane, healthy, everyday people
just like you. Unbelievable only by those who have never had first hand experiences like
that described here. Entirely believable to the tens of thousands of Earth humans who
have been involved in one way or another in contacts such as these. They will
immediately recognize the familiarity of the nature of these unique contacts.
This particular case is of special interest because it was carefully investigated and
documented by highly competent and well experienced long time UFO investigators, one
of whom became himself involved directly in the contacts. Carl Van Vlierden is a
cautious researcher who doesn't take anything for granted. He is one who must see for
himself, and that is just what he did - for years in this case. Cynthia Hind is well known
as an objective investigator who strives to be scientific and spares nothing to get to the
bottom of things. Together they have been unable to successfully refute the massive
amount of evidence examined by them.
Consider, as you read this account, that this report concerns only ONE of more than 300
"Q" bases maintained about the surface of our planet by only one extraterrestrial
organization. In addition to that there are 5 "A" bases of considerably more facility
having at least one assigned spacecraft and several people, and a large number of "H"
bases, all belonging to the same confederation of observers.
I am aware of three other similar extraterrestrial confederations, each having Earth bases
and Earth contact centers scattered about the surface of our planet, and none of them
seem to be interfering with each other in any way. I do not at this time know how they are
separated and avoid conflicts of interest.
This case is unique because the contacts from the extraterrestrials at times came in on an
ordinary commercial radio set that was modified very simply by one of the UFOnauts
when he lived near the contactee close to Durban, South Africa for a time. These contacts
were often observed by a number of other witnesses. The local government tried to
shut down the contacts by first charging the contactee with operating an unlicensed
radio station, although he had only a RECEIVER, and later they confiscated that
receiver. The UFOnauts responded with direct channel voice transmissions which were
3
more carefully guarded.
Many terms expressed here in familiar Earth language have been translated to Earth
concepts as nearly as possible by a translating computer for our understanding whereas
they in fact have much more profound meaning in their original tongue. Examples of
such terms are; Confederation, Commander, Command Seat, Divisions, Squadrons,
magazine, solar batteries, Eros (our name for a rogue asteroid), etc.
These contacts are still going on but on a reduced frequency at this time as this is being
written. Though the "A" bases are inactive at the present time, most of the "Q" bases are
still receiving messages from the extraterrestrials as you read this report.
Students of the elusive UFO phenomenon frequently ask for more information on direct
communications with the extraterrestrial occupants of these strange craft. This book is
written almost entirely from such communications recived in a highly unique and yet
verifiable manner, witnessed and tested by a considerable diversity of people. The
communications were carried out over almost a 20 year period using a radio receiver at
first, and because of that they were essentially one-way contacts. After the radio receiver
was taken a sort of direct voice channel was developed using Edwin's physical senses to
transmit and also to receive. With this method the communications became two-way and
lively exchanges took place. Later still, a method of mechanically overriding the circuitry
in a portable cassette recorder was tried and was then used in conjunction with directvoice channel through Edwin.
An expected criticism will be the near similarity of features of our life with those of the
Koldasians, almost as though one of us is copying the other, or perhaps our evolutions are
in fact parallel. Another possibility may be some of us being descended from remnants of
their culture here on Earth at other times, or the return of their Earth visitors to Koldas
possibly having liked and copied some of our institutions, or maybe they even influenced
the development of some institutions in our world, or we in theirs. It might be noted that
some primitive societies right here on Earth, that are completely out of touch with each
other, do have comparable ceremonies and customs. Perhaps these institutions are in a
normal pattern of social development and could be expected to be found in many
societies of a similar development and nature.
It may be significant that something quite similar is reported in many other
extraterrestrial contact cases leading to possible conjecture that either there is a thing like
cultural or evolutionary similarity taking place, or that all of these stories are simply
fabrications of like minds on the part of the contactees. Perhaps they all tune in to the
same idea pattern in consciousness.
From a study of a number of contactee cases one can find quite definite patterns. For
example, most cases involving human extraterrestrial beings have many similarities in
form, custom and institution. Even the patterns of reason, concept and behavior have
4
similarity ore any resemblances could be compiled from the case data on the human
Koldasians, UMMOans, Norkins, Centaurians, Vegans, Baavians, Pleiadians and many
more. A similar list of divergences could be compiled for those specific non-human
intelligent beings from Reticulum, Koshnak, larga, Orion, etc. If this were only a case of
universal copying of another's story one would expect to find less distinction between the
two classes, and one should be able to trace some kind of inter-relationships or intercommunications between the various witnesses. I do not find this to be the case.
I do not find any evidence linking Edwin W. with Antonio Ribera, or Denaerde of
Holland, Rojas-Marcos of Spain, Albert Coe of Canada, Pastor Albers of Germany, Mr. Y.
of France, Eduard Meier of Switzerland, or with Enrique Carlos Rincon of Colombia and
a host of others. In all these cases the contacts went on for years before any information
was let outside of a very small closed group jealously guarding their unique access to
knowledge of eye-opening nature. In every case a group did develop around the contactee
who watched him very closely, testing to their own satisfaction and closely monitoring all
outside contacts. They would have ultimately detected any existing inter-contact. These
groups were in a position to know what was happening inside, often for years, before
information found its way outside the group. At the same time other groups were doing
the very same thing so that it would have been impossible to go back and change notes
already made and verified months and even years earlier to make them agree with similar
notes in another case.
When Carl van Vlierden, already an experienced UFO investigator, first heard of this
case, he was living in the vicinity of Durban. He personally checked out his leads only to
find that the contacts were taking place within a small close group who tried to keep all
information about the contacts from getting out. He tried unsuccessfully to join the group
of observers, but had to content himself, at first, with studying copies of the recorded
messages. He talked to members and witnesses and finally met the man around whom all
this controversy revolved, an affair which had already been going on for many years.
Once inside he was amazed to discover that none of the people involved in these bizarre
experiences were at all loonies nor sensation seekers either, but real down to earth honest,
sincere people, who were themselves as baffled and amazed at what was happening here.
But most of all, when he finally got to meet the principal contactee and chief protagonist
himself, Edwin W., he found both him and his wife also to be dedicated, honest, sincere,
straightforward church-going individuals.
They certainly were not seeking any sensation nor even any attention. They, on the
contrary, were reticent themselves and tried to keep a low profile and stay out of sight.
They lived quietly near Pinetown, where they had been known nearly all their lives, and
everybody spoke highly of them. They could not be making any money on this because
they let very little information out. They lived very modestly. Edwin did not lecture or
write and he sold no information on the case. He didn't even want to discuss it with
anyone else.
5
Van Vlierden found that they had lost their privacy and personal time to the dozens of
visitors and sensation seekers who constantly and continually sought to take up the
personal time and private space of this man
for their own purposes. They gave the contactee and his family no peace, and authorities
harassed them, trying to discourage the horde of visitors, some with good intentions and
some not so good. Edwin's property was invaded, things taken from his home, and he was
pursued and watched constantly, conditions he abhorred and tried to avoid by staying as
quiet and as distant as possible.
A circle of friends had grown up around him to try to take the burden away from the man
and his wife, and to regulate the visitors. Such a man was Walter Pople, who also came at
first to see for himself, and getting to know Edwin and his wife personally, sought to help
in any way he could.
They finally arranged to hold one meeting a week to discuss and inform, and to try to get
the visitors under control. Then the UFOnauts began to transmit directly to the group of
people gathered for the meetings, producing a new and even more difficult sensation,
none of which Edwin seemed to be able to control.
Van Vlierden made several more trips to Pinetown following up on his investigations, and
finally quit his residence in Durban and moved' closer to Pinetown to be near this
spectacular extraterrestrial contact situation which was still going on He has been there
ever since, studying the evidence, listening patiently to the hundreds of audio tapes of the
contacts with the cosmonauts from another planet, as they claimed. He made notes and
studied the people involved. Nobody can tell Carl Van Vlierden that this case is not real,
nor the local pastor of the church attended by Edwin and his wife, nor his former
employers before he retired to a homestead, nor his neighbors and friends, some of whom
have seen things for themselves.
This is the story Van Vlierden has chosen to tell through the words of the contacts
themselves in dialogue with the UFOnauts over the many years, some of which the
investigator was able to observe and even take part in.
If this phenomenon is a creation of the mind, then on what level, and why are so many
different individuals in so many countries communicating in so many languages
perceiving such very similar scenes and events and describing similar contacts? If the
events perceived are not real then we have a world-wide psychosis of great proportion
which itself deserves a lot more study than it is getting.
If this is not a world-wide psychosis then it just may be real, in which case it is
imperative that we understand exactly what is going on as soon as possible so as to make
urgent plans to confront the situation.
6
Whether you believe this story or not is not the point at issue. The whole prospect that
this phenomenon represents is at issue and is very important. This is not an only case.
This case represents hundreds, perhaps in the thousands, of similar situations, in every
country, involving every race-type, and every language and culture in our known world.
We had better learn to understand what is going on without delay. We certainly can not
say we are not affected!
Here then is the story so that you may evaluate it for yourself. An extensive review of this
particular UFO case by EARTHLINK, a British publication, is reproduced here for your
consideration.

INTRODUCTION BY AUTHOR
This account of Valdar and the Confederation of Planets may be read as an imaginative
story created by the narrator and the author if preferred. As such it may add to the
literature about extraterrestrial visitors at the dawn of the space age on Earth. But if the
story is taken at face value, then it must create problems for the reader.
To meet these problems, explanations are given that have been obtained from Valdar and
others associated with him. These are given without the intention of entering into disputes
with modern science.
The bulk of the material in this book has been presented in chronological order, and the
transmissions reproduced verbatim with slight editing to reduce redundancy. The date,
time and origin of these transmissions are given, as well as any points of interest. Many
tape recordings of the radio transmissions are still extant and have been heard by
numerous people. Any reader familiar with space-lore will recognize that themes
occurring in other books are in Valdar's story. No attempt has been made to correlate this
account with those of other authors, as we feel that our story must be told as we received
and understood it.
Those readers who see this story as an elaborate contrived hoax are left with the problem
- by whom? And for what reason?

CHAPTER 1
Valdar
An Astrael-craft (not ment that it is from astral-plane, but so named after the constructer of the ship
named "Astrael" - described later) came from across the void into our Universe and landed on
11
Earth!
The journey ended just as the Space Age dawned on the only known inhabited planet in
this solar system. Sputnik had just circled the globe with a bleeping voice that was heard
by millions of Earth's inhabitants. The decision to go to the Moon had been taken and
soon man would expand his domain: one small step into space.
But this was a routine journey for the Commander of the Astrael-craft, Wy-Ora; his
fourteen man crew and a passenger. They had all been trained for travel through the
timeless passages of the Universe. It was no novelty for them, as their ancestors had
perfected it many generations ago. On this occasion they came to bring a brilliant, young,
aspirant commander to do his two-year training period on Earth. It was dark when he set
foot on the planet but there were some people waiting to meet him. The landing was on
the same beach where, eighteen years before, they had eagerly awaited the arrival of his
immediate superior Wy-Ora when he too had come to serve his apprenticeship on Earth.
Now it was Valdar's turn!
*****
Is it incredible? I found it difficult to believe too but fortunately I was chosen by Valdar
to tell this story to the world.
I had been interested in UFOs for many years, reading about them where I could, hoping
to see one. But I never did! And then I heard of a young man in Durban who had not only
seen a craft from Outer Space but had met its occupants and was still in touch with
them.There had been transmissions through a radio coming from a spacecraft; many had
been recorded and a small group of witnesses had gathered to hear them.
I heard several tapes and wanted to be a member of this group. Most of all, I was eager to
meet Edwin, this extraordinary young man, but it took me nearly 7 years to do so.
Then suddenly, a way opened up and I was invited into the sanctum of this mystery.
****
12
Before entering Edwin's house, I glanced up at the edge of the roof where the antenna
was positioned on a short vertical stub. It looked just like any ordinary FM antenna;
nothing unusual about it. My eyes followed the feed line which ran from it to a lead-in
along the side of the gable. Who on Earth would have thought that here, in this humble
home, lived someone who was in communication with beings from outer space?
I wondered about those giant radio telescopes manned by scores of scientists. Had Edwin
beaten them to it? I shook my head and entered the lounge and when I had settled down
in an armchair, I asked Edwin to tell me his story from the beginning. How he had met a
man from outer space for the first time.
"It's a long time ago now," he said, looking up at the ceiling, narrowing his eyes. "It
happened one afternoon... It must have been in 1960. I can still remember clearly
how one of the Directors of the firm I was working for at the time showed him
around the factory. He was tall arid well-built, dressed in a sports jacket, had long
trousers and an open-neck shirt. I would say he was just under two meters tall, and
had a round, open face with dark hair. He would have been about 30-years old.
"He was introduced to me as Mr. George K. The firm had advertised in the paper
for a radio technician, and I was told that he would be starting at the beginning of
next month. Yes, that's how it all started!
Here Edwin paused for a moment as though he needed to take his thoughts back in time
to those days when he was a mere youth and served his apprenticeship.
Then he continued, "He came to work in my department and we had to work very closely
together; both on the same assembly line of radio receivers." He paused... "We had our
tea and lunch breaks together and we hit it off well right from the start. I never noticed
13
anything unusual about him. His English was perfect and he never gave me any cause to
think he was anything but an ordinary guy. I thought he came from Johannesburg; at
least, he seemed to know that city very well. Technically, he was very competent and
soon I took all my problems to him for solutions.
"I started to give him lifts on my motorbike to and from the factory. He stayed at the old
K Hotel on Smith Street in Durban (now demolished) which was on my route from a
sugar estate, north of Durban. Before I was married I lived there at my sister's home and
George and I saw a lot of each other.
"You know, we spent many weekends together fishing and George turned out to be quite
a good fisherman. He had no tackle himself so he borrowed my rods, and many a night
we spent fishing together. One of our favorite spots was Patterson's Groyne. This is the
one opposite the City Beach Baths. I believe the Groyne is in poor condition now, but
fifteen years ago, it was in better shape.
"That is when the subject of 'life in space' came up. We were fishing one night There was
a clear sky and the stars were out, when suddenly a satellite came sailing across the sky. I
remember saying to George, 'I wonder if that is a Sputnik or one of those Flying Saucers
everyone is talking about these days?'
"George replied, 'What do you think of the possibility of the existence of life in Outer
Space?' and 'Do you believe that there could be life on Venus, or other planets?'
"I said that I had an open mind on the subject and that as far as I was concerned, it would
be strange if we were the only life in the universe. But I had my mind more on fishing at
that time in life than on life out in space. And so the subject passed, but George kept on
bringing it up every now and then.
"Then, one day, about three months after we first met, George said to me, 'Supposing,
Edwin, I gave you absolute visible proof of life in space by showing you an
extraterrestrial spacecraft: would you believe it then?' 'Yes,' I said, 'if I can see a
14
spacecraft with my own eyes, I would believe it.' Little did I realise at that time that I was
talking to a space-being at that very moment. 'Right,' said George, 'let's go fishing this
coming Saturday night.'
"Well, what I saw that night I will remember long as I live. It removed all doubt I had of
the existence of UFOs. I had been told about life in space by my own father before he
died... but I had never seen any space beings or space craft. Come to think of it, there
were some peculiar episodes in my youth which I could not understand until I met
George.
"So, on that Saturday night, I picked up George on the motor-bike. I had brought all the
bait and fishing tackle as I usually do and was therefore surprised to see that George had
a small leather-covered case with him, which I had never seen before. I asked him what
he had in it but he said, 'Oh, that is something extra for us to eat, just in case...
15
"I left it at that and we went off to our favorite spot on Patterson's Groyne. It was about
sunset when we arrived and there were a lot of others there, as was usual on a saturday
night.
"The fishing was very good that night. By midnight, the other fishermen were starting to
move off and about2 a.m. George and I were alone out there on the Groyne and the beach
was also deserted. When the last person had left, George said, 'Let's forget about fishing
now; I want to show you something.'
"He put down his fishing rod and opened his case. I switched on my flash-light and was
surprised to see that it contained a radio set. George pulled out the telescoping antenna
which consisted of two vertical rods joined by a horizontal piece in the middle, and
16
adjusted some control knob to turn on the loudspeaker.
"'This is a receiver, said George. Suddenly, to my surprise, I heard a strange language
coming from the speaker. It was unlike any language I had ever heard before! 'It's all
arranged," George said, clearly satisfied with what was taking place.
"I wondered what was up his sleeve. 'Just wait, he said, 'in about fifteen minutes look out
over the sea.' Then, after ten minutes or so, I saw to my amazement a bright light above
the water coming towards us. It grew larger as it approached and when it reached a point
near the Bluff* (*A collection of sand-dunes overlooking Durban harbour), about 3 km to
the south of us, it stopped and changed course. The light now came parallel to the shore
until it was vertically above us over the Groyne. Here it stopped again and hovered; it
was now about the size of a tennis-ball held at arm's length. It shown with a bluish-white
light, sharply outlined, steady and not pulsating at all. It was a beautiful spectacle. I was
quite overawed!
"I heard the radio speaker coming to life again, this time much stronger. George seemed
to understand what the voice was saying. I did not take much notice of what was
happening on the radio as I was looking up at the light. This must be one of those
spacecraft, I thought to myself. George said to me, 'Edwin, listen carefully.' I drew nearer
to the instrument but still kept an eye on the object above us.
"Then I heard this voice again. This time it was in English and I could understand it
clearly. The voice said, after addressing me by name, that he was the Commander of the
spacecraft above us and his name was Wy-Ora. He then explained who George was. That
he was one of them and that he had come to live on our planet for a few years to study the
conditions, the people and their habits, and so on.
"One of his tasks, was to find someone who would be willing to start a group so that
information about life in space could be given to those who were interested. He also told
me that George's true name was Valdar and that I had been selected by him to start the
group of people. He explained that they came from the planet Koldas in another
Universe and that he hoped I would accept the job of starting such a group.
"I was thunderstruck! At that time I was 16 years old and I felt I was inexperienced
and not qualified for such a task. However, I was subsequently told that I would be
trained and that in all probability I would meet others who would assist in the work.
"Before the spacecraft moved off, Wy-Ora announced that he would perform some aerial
manoeuvers which he described to us beforehand. First, the spacecraft would move east,
out over the sea for a distance, returning then to the starting point. Then west, inland,
about the same distance. Then they would go north along the coastline, and then south,
next time returning to the same point above us on the Groyne. Then he would fly a
17
circular orbit around the central point. When this was completed, he said he would depart
and would like to demonstrate to me what it looked like from the ground when a
spacecraft moved off at high acceleration. He said goodbye and with a few words in the
strange language (which I later found out was Koldasian) he ended the radio
transmission. We now watched the craft intently. Suddenly it streaked off at what must
have been an incredible speed. One moment it was there, the next it was gone!
So George, the man I had been working with, gone fishing with, taken on the back of my
motorbike, was a man from space! With all the happenings that night, my mind was in a
whirl!
"I looked sidewise at George in the light of my flash-light as we were packing up our
tackle. I thought to myself, he looks so utterly human, surely all this is not possible? It
must be a dream, and yet I have seen!
One thing is certain, that night on Patterson's Groyne in 1960, I shall remember as long as
I live."
Edwin was now sitting straight up in his chair, demonstrating remarkable energy, using
his hands and arms to aid in his descriptions. His eyes were lively.
"From that night on, whenever I was alone with him, I called him by his real name,
Valdar. He told me a lot about his home planet Koldas and about the confederation of
planets. By now, I was quite convinced that there was life in space and that our planet
was not the only inhabited one in the Universe. I had living proof in front of me; I had
Valdar right there beside me. It was not a dream; it must be true!
"Valdar later told me that Wy-Ora had also spent two years here and that he now headed a
committee of space-people assigned to our planet Earth. Valdar said, 'If only you
Earthlings knew how many visitors fromspace are among you, you would be very
surprised.' He said that nearly every country is visited by them. All these space-visitors
are volunteers, who are first thoroughly trained in the language and customs of the
country they are to visit. When they are landed in some secluded spot they are met by
people who have also been prepared for their arrival. Then they live and move among us,
sometimes for years. Obviously, they have to hide their true believes in extraterrestrials
anyway. It is also made easy for them by the fact that they can make themselves identical
to us.
"How do we know that their intentions are peaceful? Well, on more than one occasion
Valdar stressed the fact that they come in peace. They have been around for thousands of
years. Had they really had any aggressive intentions they could have invaded our planet
long ago. But hostile beings from space do exist and I have been warned about them on
frequent occasions, but these beings are not from the Confederation of Twelve Planets
from where Wy-Ora and Valdar come.
18
"And so the time passed. The weeks ran into months and the months into years. During
this time, Valdar exhausted every source of information available in libraries and
museums in Durban. I took him to meetings, lectures and various churches. He was
specially interested in our religions and we attended many church services including
some of the spiritualist's meetings. I don't think we missed any. I could never get Valdar
to express an opinion on the various religions. He said it was not for him to criticise our
different ways of worship. He did shake his head at brawls, fights, bad behavior, drunks
and so on. And he told me sometimes about the religion of the confederation.
"He stressed that he did not give such information with the idea of trying to introduce it
to Earth. He did say that many of our ancient civilizations knew of their religion, which
was taken to our planet by members of the Confederation approximately 70,000 years
ago. They believe that there is One Supreme Being, usually referred to as the Divine One.
This Being is infinite and all-powerful and He creates all things, seen and unseen. Also
created by Him was his Son. When man was created, the Divine One placed within the
body of man a spirit or the soul which never dies, but continues on to eternity. The task of
man's soul is to rule the material body by overcoming material desires.
"When this is accomplished, the soul will be called back to the great source and forever
live in perfect joy and happiness. They also believe that all mankind is created by the
same Divine Force, therefore all mankind are brothers and sisters. But this is a mere
outline of their religion; there is much more. For example, their belief in reincarnation.
"Valdar said that their religion was practiced here on Earth, but through various reasons,
as time went by, it was misused and misunderstood and we have today many forms of
religion on this planet. In some religions we see the similarities, he said, but also vast
differences compared with the Confederation. There was no divorce or separation of
married couples in the Confederation. They have a system by which couples are ideally
matched so that this never occurs.
"Yes, in the two years we were together, Valdar told me many things about life in the
Confederation, but some weekends we used to spend our time just sunbathing along the
beaches. I got to know him as a jovial, cheerful sort of person. He was always optimistic;
his favorite saying was 'never to worry'. He was kind and thoughtful. If you met him at a
party or socially, you would find him to be the life of the party, cracking jokes and that
sort of thing.
"He was also very strong physically. I remember how there was an occasion at the factory
when a heavy machine had to be moved. It usually required four men to pick it up and
shift it. Valdar must have wondered what all the fuss was about, as on this occasion he
unobtrusively took the machine up by himself, and put it down where it was needed.
Edwin then explained how he met Wy-Ora. "I met WyOra three times in all. The first was
in Valdar's hotel room, the second time was when I was sick in the hospital with a
collapsed lung. It was the St. Augustin's Hospital in Durban during November, 1966. WyOra came into the ward to see me at about nine o'clock in the morning, following the day
19
I was admitted. I was in a semi-private ward with four beds, but I was the only patient
there at the time. He spent about twenty minutes with me just talking. Strangely enough, I
felt a rapid improvement after that.
"The last occasion was in 1973. I had received a message through my radio receiver to
meet with him near Stanger, which is about 70 km north of Durban on the National Road
N 14. When I got there Wy-Ora had already arrived. He was in a car with someone else in
the driving seat, parked at the side of the road. I went there on my scooter. I got in the
back of the car and we spoke for about an half-hour. The main purpose for this discussion
was to tell me about the coming of a cosmic event. An event, he said, which would
involve our whole universe and might even prevent them from reaching us at all.
"We might be cut off entirely from the confederation for a while.* (*This event actually
took place on June 26th, 1976.)
"How did I get the radio receiver? Well, before Valdar left at Easter 1962, he gave me this
radio receiver. Actually it is a tuner which is used with an amplifier. This was one of our
standard models (at the factory) at the time; there is nothing special about it. Valdar had
made it up himself, using standard components and I am still using this same tunerreceiver today.
"Soon after Valdar left, I regularly received radio transmissions from him and Wy-Ora.
Later I recorded them on tape. To date, I think we must have received close on a thousand
such radio transmissions from the Confederation. But at first they were very weak;
sometimes barely audible through the background noise, but they have improved with
time and at present these radio contacts are of excellent quality.
"I have often been asked why others can't tune in and listen to these transmissions from
them. It should be clearly understood that they are not the same as the ones from our own
national broadcasting stations. Although I use an ordinary receiver and antenna, there is a
fundamental difference. In this case, the antenna is not connected to the front end (RF
stage) as it usually is, but to the power supply (rear end) of the receiver. Back to front, so
to speak. As this receiver and tape-recorder are transistorized, only 12 volts are needed to
make it work. That's how they can start both receiver and tape recorder in my absence
and leaving messages for me. I always leave a blank tape in the recorder with the 'recordbutton' down, but the power switch on 'off'.
20
Valdar had modified the radio-antenna, so that the KOLDASIANS could override The
circuitry by remote control and then broadcast through this set. This set was
Confiscated by men who claimed they were authorities and never returned.
"To make a transmission, the spacecraft takes up a position directly above our house.
They are approximately 520 km above the ground, but are not visible to the naked eye.
On some occasions they come lower especially to show themselves to us, but for radio
transmissions they remain at about that height. To communicate, they send down a
narrow beam, like a beam of light, but of course it is invisible. I think that's how they
energize the receiver, by beaming the power the transistors need, and this beam carries
the message. The receiver does not need to be tuned to any particular frequency. I have
added a switch to cut off the front end (RF stage) of the set. This is the reason no other
receiver can pick up these transmissions, unless they know one's location and the antenna
is connected to the final stage.

"Valdar said that he had to be at a spot near an outcrop of rocks on the beach at 10 o'clock
that night. 'It will be low tide and the beach will be wider,' he said. He pointed out the
spot to me and I was amazed how well he seemed to know the layout of that beach. I got
the impression that he had been there before on more than one occasion.
"I spent the afternoon doing some fishing but my heart was not in it. Valdar noticed my
despondency and while we were having a cup of tea, he said -- to cheer me up -- that we
would meet again. He also told me that he would make frequent contact with me via the
radio set. And so the last few hours passed all too quickly and the appointed time of his
departure arrived.
"It was 10 o'clock. The beach was deserted. This stretch of coastline was often visited by
holiday-makers but being before Easter, we were alone that night.Valdar had changed
into a tight-fitting light-blue suit. It looked to me like a track suit with a fastener down
one side from top to bottom. He said it was a special material - giving protection from
radiation in space. We each carried a suitcase and Valdar carried the radio set in the other
hand. This receiver, the same one that he had used at Patterson's Groyne, had been in
operation intermittently all that afternoon and messages in Koldasian had been coming
through.I was unable to understand them. ..'It is time to get ready now,' Valdar said, and
with that we made off in the direction of the outcrop of rocks. It was a beautiful night
with hardly any wind. There was a clear sky with the stars above us and the tide out.
Valdar's radio was operating again and we sat down in the sand and waited. About 10
minutes later we saw a white light coming towards us over the sea, which steadily
grow as it came closer. Now I could see the shape clearly, like a disc with a dome on
top. The dome had windows through which a bright light was shining. I spotted a
figure at one of the windows.
"Before the craft drew too close, Valdar told me to stand back as far as possible as I was
not wearing any protective clothing. So I moved back against the side of the dunes. But
before we parted, we shook hands and Valdar's last few words were, 'I will be away for
quite a 'while but we will meet again. With that, I scrambled up against the side of the
dune where I had a good view of the spacecraft as it touched down on the beach.
"As it came closer, I could see how enormous it was. It must have been close to 50 meters
in diameter. (This I checked later when I returned to the spot with a tape-measure and
measured the distance between some landmarks that I remembered.)
"The craft was down on the beach. It began to elevate itself. I heard a low hum and then
realized that a column was coming out from below, raising the craft up above it as it
extended. Valdar had described exactly what I would see, and this column, he said, was
hydraulically operated and that within it was a lift which could take one to various levels
within the ship. When the column is drawn up inside, it served as a lift for the personnel
aboard.
23
"I saw a large opening at the bottom of the column and I presume there was a sliding door
in it. Valdar picked up his two suitcases and his radio set and I saw him wave his arm in a
final farewell and he was gone.The door closed and the column was drawn up into the
craft which now settled down on the beach again.
"It was all over in about a minute. It then rose up into the air. One of the airvents was
pointing in my direction and I could feel a strong current of heat coming my way which
blew up some of the loose sand. Soon the craft was climbing and the figure in the controldome, who had been watching all the time, waved. I was told later that it was Wy-Ora.
The ship now moved out over the surf, rising all the time. I saw green identification lights
come on underneath the craft.
"The craft itself was not emitting any light. The only illumination was the light coming
from the controldome while it was close and on the beach. The outside was steel-grey in
color but shiny. One could not see any rivets or joints or welds; it seemed to be one
complete moulding, like two saucers put rim to rim.
"After Valdar left, it took me quite a while to adjust. He had been with me for about two
years and we had spent a lot of time together, both at work and most of our weekends and
holidays. He became a very close friend and although I had other friends before he came,
they seemed to have dropped away gradually during those two years. When he left, I felt
very lonely, as you can imagine. It seemed I had no friends at all after he had gone! I got
so used to his company and his voice, his ways... He had told me so much about his
planet and the way of life there that I found it difficult to go back to the normal everyday,
rather shallow type of relationships I had had before.
"There was simply no-one else with whom I could share my recent experiences. I guess
that's why these radio contacts have played such an important part in my life since then.
"It was about one month after Valdar had gone when I received my first message through
the radio receiver he had given me. But it was not from Valdar; it was from Wy-Ora. I got
the impression that Wy-Ora was the man in charge of the whole operation and that Valdar
treated him as his chief. There was a lot of interference in the reception and I had to use a
long vertical antenna. I was still on the sugar estate, living with my younger married
sister. These radio transmissions were of a general nature, keeping in contact with me
every two or three weeks.
"That's how it was at the beginning; that's how it all happened. Later, I learnt that
the ancestors of the people of the Confederation visited Earth a very long time ago,
leaving their culture which formed the ancient civilizations. But the incredible thing
is that unknown to the world at large, they are still among us today!"
24
chapter 2
I Am Wy-Ora
"I am Wy-Ora". This was his characteristic way of beginning and ending a radio
transmission. He had a gentle, deep, rich voice. An outstanding voice. I have had the
pleasure of hearing him speak on several occasions on these tape recordings.
"Why are Earth people so different?" asked Wy-Ora, in a radio transmission to 'Q' Base,
the name he gave to Edwin's group. "The rulers of several other planets in our Universe
have received us with open arms. Indeed, very recently, Koldas has established friendly
trade relations with Pyrole, a planet that has reached the same level of evolution as Earth.
Now there is a bond of friendship between the inhabitants of Pyrole and the
Confederation.
"Why are the rulers of Earth so different? I have often pondered this problem. How I
wish they would accept our friendship. I feel sure that in time to come, those who make
25
the decisions on your planet will accept us. Then all the knowledge we have gained will
be given to you freely. You will also learn the secrets of the universes, galaxies and solar
systems that lie beyond your Earth.
"If only we could come freely, but this is unfortunately not permitted by our Superiors.
On occasions, I have had the urge to enter your atmosphere and show ourselves to you in
our Astrael craft. But because of Earth hostility, I cannot endanger the lives of the
personnel for whom I am responsible. I must consider their families and relatives on
Koldas. Although I am sure that if I asked them to come they would not refuse. But I
cannot take this risk.
"To land openly on your planet we must obtain permission from our Superiors on Koldas
but they will not grant this until all Earth's governments have fully accepted the
Confederation. We only come in peace! We will not invade your planet. Your governors
must accept us of their own free will. We only wish to bring you happiness, peace and a
better way of living. Other planets have learned to share knowledge amongst themselves,
and by doing this, each planet automatically progresses to a bit higher level.
"We could show our fleets of Astrael craft to the millions of inhabitants of Earth. The
manoeuver is easily arranged by flying low over all the capital cities of Earth. But if we
did this we would rob your rulers of their freedom to choose or reject us. Yes, your
leaders know about us. They know of the work we have done above and below the seas
of your planet in the past. We always contact the rulers first whenever we discover a new
planetary civilization. But most of the Earth's population are not ready to accept the fact
that there is life beyond their atmosphere.
"A gradual acceptance of extraterrestrial life may probably be better in the long run. That
is why we are making these radio transmissions to you at 'Q' Base. We hope to bring a
little more light to you. We would like to tell you something about Koldas and the
Confederation and about the two universes, and also to warn you about the negative
element from the fringes of our own Universe which is known to us as the Outer Worlds.
Your planet will never regret making friends with Koldas. If you did make friends then
conditions would change -- there would be no poverty and no wars. You would learn to
live in peace. We regard you at 'Q' Base as special people. You have accepted us as
friends. There are many like you on Earth..."
That was part of the first messages. That was in 1962 before we had the massive arsenals
of terrible weapons we have today, before we had orbiting earth satellites, before we had
put men into space. According to these UFOnauts, an invitation had been extended and
was rebuffed.
26
****
"It was now six years since Valdar had left from Richards' Bay. By 1968 a group had
gathered around Edwin who both heard and studied the radio messages which came from
the spacecraft of the Confederation at regular intervals. Most of these transmissions were
made by Wy-Ora and Valdar, but occasionally other spacecraft commanders would give
short talks on particular subjects.
Edwin did not keep records of the radio transmissions during the first five years but after
the formation of his group, Wy-Ora embarked upon a new series of explanatory talks and
these were tape-recorded, transcribed and circulated to members of the group and other
interested people.
In one of these early transmissions, Wy-Ora said "We have'much to tell you of ourselves
and our comings and goings, but first I would like to mention that WE come in peace. We
only wish to bring peace to your own planet. There is an ancient call sign, 'Mulga Koldas'
which means, 'we come in peace'. This call is widely recognized! And this sign must be
given before we of the Confederation may land on any planet."
Koldas, the home planet of Wy-Ora and Valdar, is one of eight in a solar system that is
part of a Confederation of Twelve Planets, or more accurately, 12 solar systems. Koldas,
which is larger than Earth, is the principal planet of its solar system and most of the
population live there. All the planets in the Confederation are in another universe. In
Earth terms, the distance would run into many light years but as the Confederation
spacecraft, the Astrael-craft and the earlier Starships have "time machine" characteristics,
the journey can be bridged in an incredibly shortened time interval.* (*Recently some
astronomers have postulated that instantaneous journeys through the Universe are
feasible through black holes and timeless passages and an Einstein-Rosen Bridge. (The
"Iron Sun", Adrian Berry, published by Jonathan Cape))
A large fleet of freight and passenger-craft glide rapidly along the magnetic pathways.
Some craft are capable of carrying thousands of people. Long distance cargo-carriers and
space-cruisers link the Koldasian solar system with the other members of the
Confederation.
(Remember this was received in 1968 when ever ideas of super-light travel were
preposterous)
The bulk of the industrial activity of that solar system is located on Koldas' two
27
neighboring planets. Here, the Astrael-craft and the mighty space-cruisers are built. On
the other planets there is agriculture and the mining of rich mineral deposits.
Cities and planets in this solar system are linked by radio and TV communication and a
transport network.
Wy-Ora said, "We owe our present level of civilization and technology to the
Grandorians who taught our primitive ancestors a better way of life. They took some of
our people to Grandor where they were instructed by wise and wonderful teachers."
Grandor is the "mother" planet of the confederation. It is an old planet and her people are
the oldest race known to us. They travelled through endless corridors of space in their
craft to search for new planets and this is how they discoverd Koldas. They found a race
of people who were primitive and whose knowledge did not extend beyond their own
horizons. Grandorian missionaries landed on Koldas after obtaining permission from
local rulers. They brought their highly evolved civilization with them and eventually
Grandorians and Koldasians intermarried and a new age dawned for the Koldasian solar
system.
Later Wy-Ora spoke about his family; his wife Sharon and his daughters. How fascinated
they were with stories of his travels to Earth and about the radio transmissions made to
'Q' Bases all over our planet, especially to Edwins's little group. He described his wife
Sharon as tall and slim, about 1.80 meters in height, with corn-color hair blue eyes and a
clear complexion. His two daughters, Rama (morning star) and Tana (sunlight) both
bearing a remarkable resemblance to Sharon. Wy-Ora often tells stories of how relations
and friends come to see the spaceships off when they leave their own planet for a tour of
duty to Earth's solar system. Then everyone comes aboard the Astrael-craft to have
refreshments as part of the farewell party. Invariably the crew insist that Wy-Ora's
daughters sing a song to send them on their way.
Making a transmission to 'Q' Base, Wy-Ora spoke of the training he had undergone to
qualify as an Astrael pilot.
It took the equivalent of five of our Earth years. The first three years are spent on the
mother planet as they are taught how to pilot and navigate Astrael ships and to repair vital
components. Each pilot is taught the main language of the solar system which he will be
patrolling. The last two years are spent on the selected foreign planet, learning about their
religions, their habits and customs and the other languages spoken there.
Wy-Ora described how his own training period ended with a test which required his
piloting an Astrael-craft to our solar system in the year 1942. An experienced Astrael
pilot supervised and on reaching Earth, instructed him to land the craft on a deserted
28
beach on the Natal north coast. A man and his wife were there to meet him and they
welcomed him as they took him by car to a cottage on the beach about 25 km from
Durban. Here, WyOra spent his first six months studying newspapers and other literature
so that he could perfect his English and learn the background of life on Earth, particularly
the religion. In his spare time he liked walking down from the cottage to the beach where
he rested and relaxed. The next six months were spent working for a firm specializing in
electronics in the city. This also gave him the opportunity to travel to neighboring towns
and villages.
After spending a year in South Africa, Wy-Ora went by Astrael-craft to Great Britain and
America. Here he was mainly interested in the healing arts. He attended lectures on the
latest advances in medicine. At the end of 1943 he returned to South Africa for a brief
stay with his friends.
They took him to a deserted beach on the North Coast where an Astrael-craft was waiting
to take him home. Upon his return to Koldas, he was thoroughly tested on all he had
learned during his experiences on Earth.
It is a great day in the life of an Astrael pilot when he is told to report to the main
communication center to receive his pilot colors. Wy-Ora was one of a group who
paraded in the main square. They were all in the full dress uniform of Astrael pilots: lightblue, close-fitting space suits, silver gloves and boots which reached above their wrists
and ankles, and dress gear. Each carried a light-weight silver space helmet under his arm.
They formed up in a half-circle and their leaders presented them with their colors. These
were in the form of' epaulets. Wy-Ora's colors were green, representing Earth's solar
system. The other pilots were given colors according to the solar system they would
patrol. All new commanders were introduced to the crew who would accompany them on
their patrols.
Wy-Ora was fond of the planet Earth and once said, "I have often tried to describe to my
family and friends the grandeur of your planet. But your mountains and your seas are
indescribable; they have to be seen and be experienced personally. My stay on Earth was
truely wonderful. Ever since then my great ambition has been to patrol your solar system.
In most of the radio transmissions there were personal messages for the individual
members of 'Q' Base. In 1967 Wy-Ora wished everyone a happy Christmas and then said,
"I have a message from my crew. They ask --would it be possible for you to save them
each a piece of Christmas cake? My friends, I doubt very much if they could identify a
piece of Christmas cake, even if they saw it!"
1968 turned out to be a good year with radio transmissions arriving at least once a month.
Although there was no regular pattern, many transmissions came through on a Sunday
morning when Edwin's group gathered together Many a time, Edwin was alerted during
the week in the evening and there were occasions when a transmission came through in
29
the early hours of the morning; even at 01:30 a.m. Wy-Ora and Valdar were the principal
speakers although there were others from Wy-Ora ' 5 team including Mank-Ton,
Kashendo, and Zybo.
Early that year, Wy-Ora told of the history of the Confederation' visits to our planet
during the 20th century. Although the Grandorians first landed on Earth during the
building of the pyramids in Egypt, it was only in 1927 that the Confederation decided to
form a regular space patrol for our solar system. The main purpose of the patrol was to
plot, record and eliminate the large meteorites which entered the magnetic fields about
our planet.
Meteorites are a menace to magnetically propelled space-craft. The range of the patrol
was from the outer fringes of our solar system to 335 miles (536 km) above the surface of
Earth. It was not intended that these meteor patrolcraft should enter the Earth's
atmosphere. Other scout craft were used to land and collect samples or specimens or to
perform special functions such as landing missionaries or learner-pilots for their training
periods. This Astrael patrol was well established by 1941.
30
Wy-Ora also mentioned the occasions when Edwin was involved with the landing of
Astrael scout craft. There was the time at Patterson's Groyne, when Edwin became
convinced of the real identity of his friend and the reality of the extraterrestrial
spacecraft. There was also the time when Valdar was picked up to go home at the end of
his Earth Familiarization program. Wy-Ora said, "It was arranged that I should pick him
up at ten o'clock at a certain spot on the beach. I landed a ship directly in front of them.
We had a scheduled rendezvous with a patrol-craft, so we could not delay. Valdar completed his tests and was accepted as an Astrael pilot. He then joined my division of patrolcraft and is now one of my best pilots."
During a routine radio transmission in the middle of that year, Wy-Ora brought the news
that Valdar had been promoted. He was to take charge of a division of Astrael-craft
assigned to the solar system of Pyrole.His assistant was Mank-Ton, who would be left in
charge when Valdar returned to Koldas for his rest periods. Wy-Ora would continue to
command the patrol to Earth's solar system.
During this transmission he was able to relay a short message from Valdar who said, "I
am overjoyed to be able to make contact with you at 'Q' Base again. I overheard Wy-Ora
telling you of my promotion. I am honored to have been given this position with my good
friend Mank-Ton. I shall miss your solar system very much. We have grown very fond of
your planet. We will not be able to transmit to you as frequently as before, but when it is
possible we will do so. I will now return you to Wy-Ora so, for the present, we wish you
the best of health until we can transmit again."
Wy-Ora concluded by saying that in four days, at 9 p.m. local time, there would be a
special transmission from the inauguration ceremony of the first broadcast from the new
artificial satellite of the Pyrolean solar system. A Pyrolean official would activate the
master-switch to put the satellite in operation. There would be a short thanks to Koldas
and the Confederation for making the artificial satellite possible.
Pyrole and its solar system is situated in the same universe as the planets and systems of
the Confederation. Its inhabitants have human characteristics and features. The average
male is 1.65 m. tall with a well developed body, dark-brown hair, brown eyes and deeply
tanned skin and the women are generally slim with average height of 1.50 m. and wear
their hair long. They have attractive features by Earth's standards.
31
Pyroleans are quiet-spoken people who love sport and the outdoor life. Pyrole is the
principal planet in their system and is about the size of Venus. Like Venus, it has a
continuous layer of cloud hiding the surface features. There are 12 major cities with
Grenova, meaning 'Island" as the capital. This is aptly named as it is surrounded by
impenetrable marshlands. To the north and west as one flies over the region, one sees
what appears to be grass-lands, but these are really swamps covered with green algae. To
the south are giant trees, towering to 112 meters, with a tangled mass of evergreen swamp
underneath. This marshy jungle ends abouth 1O kms further south in"a range of
mountains, with two active volcanoes. To the east, there is very little marsh and jungle.
Here lie the rich mineral deposits of Pyrole, in a low-lying plateau skirted by hills. Due to
the marshy conditions on Pyrole there are very few road networks. Instead, there is an
extensive air-transport system which links the major cities, towns and villages.
The rulers and government officials of Pyrole had responded favorably to visits by
Koldasian Astrael-craft when the planet was surveyed. These visits took place for several
decades ending in 1968. The earlier, friendly advance's by the Koldasians had culminated
in the establishment of friendship and trade agreements. Pyrole invited a Koldasian
Official to make a good-will visit to their planet and he was cordially received at a ceremony organized by Pyrolean officials. On this occasion, the Koldasian asked the
Pyroleans to accept a gift of 150 Asrael-craft in return for the friendship they had shown
Koldas. The Pyroleans were overjoyed at this generous gesture which had far-reaching
benefits for all.
These Astrael-craft would replace the Pyrolean space craft, which were jet and rocketpropelled and not capable of long distance inter-planetary space flight.
This opened a new way of life for the Pyroleans.
They would now be able to share in the benefits that came with a Confederation
civilization.
The first task tackled by the Confederation was the construction and launching of the
artificial satellite, as well as a complete survey and mapping of the magnetic fields. The
satellite was needed for the Astrael-craft to 'home-in' on, and for two-way radio and
'thought' communication between Pyrole and the Confederation. It was to be named
Grenova, an island in space, and officially opened with a ceremony by Superiors of
Pyrole.
Groups of Pyrolean scientists, engineers, and technicians were taken to Koldas for
training. The technicians and scientists went to assembly plants where the Astrael-craft
were designed and constructed. There they learned the skills of the technologies involved.
Others were trained as pilots so they could take new ships back to Pyrole.
32
Wy-Ora introduced a poignant note when he concluded the story as he said, "While I am
sitting here talking to you, I am gazing down at your beautiful planet. And I am
wondering to myself; why are the Earth people so different? When I spent two years there
I encountered many ideas that you have about people of space and life on other planets.
The majority of your people seem to believe that Earth is the only inhabited planet in the
heavens. My friends, when the Almighty created your planet, he did not stop there, he
created other planets too. Not only Earth was endowed with life, but he created life on
many of his worlds and also gave them intelligence. Then there are people who believe
that inhabitants from other planets have hideous and deformed features, wishing only to
do harm to you. We too have been created in the same image and likeness! But the
strangest belief I encountered was that space beings are spirits and do not exist in the
flesh; that these spirits can walk through doors and walls and cannot die! We have bodies
of flesh and blood; we are mortals. We also feel pain and sorrow and happiness. All the
solar systems that my ancestors have visited, and those which I have travelled to,have
inhabitants like us, of flesh and blood."
Wy-Ora continued wistfully, "If only your governments would unite in peace and extend
the invitation, your skies would ring with the hum of magnetic motors.
All our knowledge would be yours. All that we have achieved over the centuries would
be given you freely. But unfortunately, your rulers cannot agree. They tell us many
things; why they cannot accept us. But it all boils down to the fact that it would bring too
many changes on Earth and that it would disturb the 'balance of things'."
Then he said apologetically, "Forgive me, my good friends, if my words sound harsh, but
I have often wondered about Earth and her people. Let us hope that one day your rulers
will change their minds."
CHAPTER 3
33
received directly from the extraterrestrial cosmonauts who had made the acquaintance of
F. Edwin W. of the Durban area of South Africa. Sometimes these dictations ranged into
subjects beyond the knowledge of the witness and discussed events unknown to him at
the time. We continue.
"I would like to explain one of the mysteries that has puzzled your astronomers for some
time; It is the so-called missing planet in your solar system.
These words came from Edwin's loudspeaker one Sunday morning when the "Q" group
were assembled in the lounge at his home.
The speaker was Wy-Ora, who in his characteristic melodious voice continued to say, "A
number of Earth years ago, astronomers on Earth observed what they thought to be
another planet in your solar system. It could not be seen regularly because it was
obscured by the sun. Later, it was no longer visible. What had happened to the missing
planet? Some astronomers claimed that it had destroyed itself, while others said that there
was no such planet. What they had seen was a large artificial satellite. It was the first of
its kind which had been specially built to guide our early craft to your solar system. It
was constructed and assembled in the days of the ancient Egyptians and was given the
name 'Valsoon', meaning Place of Rest."
"When the Astrael--craft replaed the obsolete craft in 1941, it was decided to replace
Valsoon with a larger satellite and place it beyond the perimeter of your solar system.
"When this was completed," Wy-Ora continued, "Valsoon was dismantled, section by
section, and taken back to Koldas. The new artificial satellite was much larger and has
updated guiding and tracking equipment. It can accommodate a greater number of craft
which stop-over there on journeys to other solar systems. It is called 'Melchor', which
means - 'Half-way Station.'
"When the Koldasian technicians dismantled Valsoon" continued Wy-Ora, "your
astronomers lost sight of it. The sun's rays reflected from Valsoon gave the impression
that it was a planet. This explanation may solve the mystery of the 'missing planet'. The
new artificial satellite Melchor cannot be seen from Earth because of the distance and
other natural phenomena obscuring it. Radio signals from Melchor have been detected on
Earth but these are only 'homing signals' to guide and direct the spacecraft.
One of Wy-Ora's pilots. Kashendo, who had also trained on Earth, became the
commander of Melchor. He had undertaken Earth familiarization in Australia and to "Q"
bases he became known as the 'voice of Melchor'. He described his space-station as a
small planet several miles in diameter which was like a miniature world.* (Miles
diameter spacecraft- Remember this transmission took place in 1968 when there was little
lore on giant spacecraft. Since 1975 several reports of miles diameter spherical and miles
long blimp-shaped ships have been encountered. There is no evidence that Edwin had
34
heard of these because all, like Edwin, were keeping big things secret for years within
local groups.)
It had many levels with large observation windows all around. There was also an
observation dome where most of the instruments were located. There are airlocks with
doors or gates, so that visiting craft can enter. It is an oasis in space. Above the main
airlock is an inscription in Koldasian, saying 'Welcome To all'.
"This artificial satellite is visited by wanderers in space," said Kashendo. "I often think
how wonderful it would be if some day, spacecraft from Earth were to visit this satellite
as they journey deep into space. We give our services freely and expect nothing in return.
Food and provisions are given to all visiting craft such as those journeying to solar
systems far beyond their mother planets. We are here to aid and guide them as best we
can. Yes, it would be wonderful to welcome an Earth-craft entering our air-locks. This
may not occur in my life-time but it will surely happen some day!
"All these craft are propelled by magnetic flux. The magnetic streams have different
layers with various velocities. The motors, with which all craft are fitted, serve as rudders
directing the craft into the various velocity layers. The highest velocity is reached on the
outer surface and can exceed that of light. The magnetic streams criss-cross deep space,
connecting planets, solar systems, galaxies and even universes in a vast web of highways
and by-ways for space travellers and their craft.
"The highway must be cleared of floating meteoritic debris and for this reason the
35
Confederation has been patrolling the magnetic streams (fields) for a very long time.
When meteors are found, they are completely destroyed by a device called the 'Sun-ray'.
Wy-Ora was in charge of the meteor sweep of the magnetic fields in our solar system at
the time Valdar was appointed to the Pyrolean system. Valdar was sad to leave Wy-Ora's
patrol division as it meant that he would not be able to contact Edwin and his group. The
bond of friendship had deepened since his two-year stay with Edwin.
It was during the transmission of June 5th, 1968 at 8:55 p.m., during the official opening
of the Pyrolean satellite, Grenova, that Wy-Ora said, "We have now positioned ourselves
over your planet so that we can intercept the first radio transmissions from Grenova.
When the broadcast starts we will relay it to you. You will first hear a long continuous
signal at 9:00 p.m. This is the beacon to guide the Astrael-craft to their solar system. Then
a Pyrolean official will send a message to Koldas and the Confederation. Although he
will speak in Koldasian, I will translate his speech for you, as we have some time in hand,
I would like to connect you to Valdar, who is in an Astrael-craft next to ours. He wishes
to talk to you. Stand by for Valdar."
Very soon Valdar's voice was heard. "I am Valdar. The personnel and myself send
greetings to you, Edwin, and all who are listening. My friends, this will be my last
transmission to you from this craft. During my next cycle of duty, I will be within the
solar system of Pyrole. I have been given a division of six Astrael-craft to sweep the
magnetic fields of that system. Mank-Ton will relieve me during my rest periods. My
friends, the personnel and myself would like to thank you for listening to our radio
communications, for by doing so you have given us much joy. We are sorry that we will
not be able to transmit to you regularly in the future but when the opportunity arises, we
will certainly do so again. For the present time, may the Divine One guide and protect
you all. I am your old friend, George."
With that he handed the transmission back to Wy-Ora who said, "Stand by now for the
homing-signal from the....(cont.under)
NOTE- This is not the only case of extraterrestrials reportedly coming to live and work
on the surface of our planet for a time and then leaving. There was the UMMO case in
France and Spain (not all of which by far has been told) where UMMOan teams of men
and women came here and lived and worked in a half dozen countries, living as Earth
people and working in our society for their living as they studied our culture. There were
also the humans from Itibi-Ra who came to Earth and operated hibridizing plantations in
Peru, Bolivia, and Colombia.

(cont. Here)......system of Pyrole relayed to you by this Astrael-craft 500 kilometers
above Earth. Stand by..."
There was complete silence for about a minute, except for the background hiss of the
receiver. Then the signal came through as a low-pitched continuous humm. The time was
precisely 9:00 p.m. just as Wy-Ora had said it would. There it was, a signal all the way
from Pyrole many light years away. With excitement in his voice, Wy-Ora said, "My
friends, they have started transmitting their homing-signal and the speech will follow
shortly."
The signal continued for about a minute and then followed the Pyrolean official's speech
in Koldasian. Wy-Ora then spoke again. "The transmission you have just heard was from
the new artificial satellite of the solar system of Pyrole. The Pyrolean leader addressed
the planet Koldas and other solar systems of our confederation. Here is a translation of
the speech: 'We come in peace. (this is our ancient call sign) This is the new artificial
satellite Grenova, within the solar system of Py-role, making its first transmission to the
planet Koldas and all the other planets of the Confederation. On behalf of the people of
Pyrole I would like to convey our sincerest thanks to you for making this satellite possible. I would also like to thank Koldas for the generous gift of the Astrael-craft which
have brought us a new way of life. We are deeply grateful for the Confederation
technicians who came to work on our planet. Pyrole would also like to thank all the
planets who have aided
Pyrole immeasurably with friendship and goodwill. I will now close this transmission.
May the Divine Creator be with you all. This satellite is now open to all travellers who
come in peace...
NOTE- In these transmissions, recorded over 15 years ago, it may seem like the Earth
contacts are being "talked down" to and that the scenario is too theatrical. There may be
reasons for this. Perhaps the scenes described are oversimplified for a reason. Perhaps the
terms themselves are oversimplified in a popular sense because our language and
technology at the time was ill-equipped to deal with actualities or because we lacked
concepts for adequate communication. The fact remains that these radio messages came
through in a variety of voices -- not Edwin's -- and not identified as anybody else's known
to the group of observers. These were received before witnesses who checked every
possibility of hoaxing them and have never been identified as belonging to anybody else
in the group.
37
"In essence, these words translate' the speech of the superior from Pyrole", related WyOra, "Their planet will now progress rapidly. Craft with cargo and passengers will now
travel regularly to and from their system. Their industries will expand and their
knowledge increase. The people of Pyrole have been willing to accept the truth; that the
universes are populated by human beings throughout. Having accepted this, they will
prosper by it.
"As I was listening to this transmission, I gazed down on your beautiful planet. As I have
asked before, why are the people of Earth so different? Your superiors appear to promote
the concept that extraterrestrials are hostile. Or they use scientific arguments why beings
from lightyears away cannot visit Earth. There appears to be a deliberate attempt to
confuse the issue. It is a great pity! Earth could have joined the Confederation.
After this transmission, no further news was received by Edwin until five weeks later,
except for a note from Wy-Ora saying he could not keep the appointed time for a
transmission. *(*Since the Koldasians could activate the radio at will, they could and did
leave messages on the untended set.)
He had been called away to investigate the presence of a large meteorite threatening traffic to our solar system. There was another brief message that Valdar had left and taken
his six craft away on their new assignment.
Then, one Sunday morning, in the presence of the "Q" group, Wy-Ora spoke as though he
wished to emphasize the similarity of the needs of his crew to those of our own
astronauts. After the usual greeting, he went on to say, While I am making this
transmission, the crew of this patrol-craft will take the opportunity to eat their main meal
for the day. I have just been served a warm refreshing drink. It consists mainly of fruit
juices blended together and can be enjoyed hot or cold. The fruit comes from Koldas and
the liquid is stored in round containers sealed at the top. When the drink is served, the
seal on the top is removed and the liquid can be drunk directly from the container. We are
supplied with enough of these containers to last our cycle of patrol. Our food is stored in
sealed containers about 20 x 10 cm and are divided into many sections. Each section
holds its own type of food. When the container is heated, after breaking the seal, the
contents are emptied onto a square tray; this has divisions in it and the food is emptied
into the various partitions.
"We eat our food with utensils similar to yours. There are various combinations of food
within these containers, but our main diet consists of vegetables and fish found on
Koldas. With our meals we have 'Mazelles', a type of bread. When prepared, mazelles
look very much like your wheat-bread. It is made into small squares and eaten with the
main meal.
38
"Now I would like to tell you an amusing incident which happened to Valdar and MankTon on Pyrole. Both of them were surveying the southern hemisphere of Pyrole from an
Astrael-craft. The two Pyrolean interpreters accompanying them said they were over the
city, Eyland, where they were scheduled to land and make tests. Approaching the spaceport, they could see a large crowd gathered to watch their arrival. Valdar and Mank-Ton
were told no Astrael-craft had ever been over this city before and were asked by the
Pyroleans to put on an aerobatic display for the people who were watching. Valdar agreed
at once and performed every conceivable manoeuver he knew. When he had completed
his demonstration, the ship landed in the center of the spaceport.
"First to emerge," continued Wy-Ora, "were the two Pyroleans, who told the crowd
assembled that this was a Koldasian patrol-craft and that there were larger ones in the
capital city. Next to emerge was Valdar! As his feet touched the ground a group of
Pyrolean girls rushed forward and surrounded him and in their ardour knocked him off
his feet. When Mank-Ton emerged from the craft, he was just in time to see Valdar crawl
from under the pressing mass of girls.
"He tried to get Valdar back into the craft but was unsuccessful. The more he tried to pull
Valdar back, the more the girls pulled him away. Mank-Ton retreated into the ship. When
he saw Valdar again he was being chased around the ship by these girls with their long
hair streaming behind them. Valdar had lost his helmet, his gloves, his boots, and they
had pulled his identification epaulets from his coveralls. At last Valdar was pulled back
into the craft by the two interpreters.
"Back at the space-port of the capital, Valdar was the first to exit. What a sight! It is not
often one sees an Astrael-pilot minus his flying boots, helmet and gloves and very
dishevelled. When asked what had happened to him, he stopped, shrugged his shoulders
and said, 'Beyond those mountains are some crazy girls!' and with that he disappeared
into the spaceport building.
"Mank-Ton, whose face was still red with laughter, then explained what had happened to
Valdar. Later that day, the two Pyrolean interpreters apologized for the behavior of the
women. They said the sight of the Astrael-craft had overwhelmed them. The girls had
apologized. Mank-Ton still teases Valdar about his experiences on Pyrole saying, 'Next
time we return to Pyrole, let me give you a few lessons on how to handle Pyrolean girls.'
To this Valdar is said to have replied, 'Thanks for your kind offer, Mank-Ton, but it seems
strange to me that a man with your experience of women should have been the first to
return to the safety of the ship.'
Occasionally Mank-Ton made a radio transmission to 'Q' Base. One Sunday morning he
said that he had just returned from Pyrole and that the Pyrolean magnetic fields were
completely charted and safe for navigation.
39
Wy-Ora continued, "Now that the satellite is opened another link has been created with a
planet beyond our Confederation. This will bring prosperity to Pyrole which will become
well known to the other planets in our group. The Astrael-craft will boost their
development, enrich their sciences and technologies and enhance their skills. Their
system will grow. The ships will help to bring them the benefits shared by the
Confederation, a wealth not necessarily in material gain. but of a deeper spiritual quality
and joy of living. How I wish Earth would also join us in this relationship. We would
share with you too. You would never regret taking such a step. Conditions on Earth would
change. There would be no more wars and poverty. Your planet would learn to live in
peace and we all could come and go freely as we now do on Pyrole. Your Earth rulers
need a change of heart and mind."
Mank-Ton ended with the words, "Valdar and myself are glad to have been given the
honour of the magnetic sweep patrol of the Pyrolean system. We are glad to be associated
with the wonderful people who inhabit that planet."
****
Do the inhabitants of Earth really differ in their behavior patterns from other human
beings that populate the planets of the Confederation? Wy-Ora once said that an
experimental colony of Earthmen had been tried in the Confederation but that it was a
failure. This was in 1945 when the Confederation made another attempt at establishing a
new bond of understanding and communication and made radio transmissions such as
these to many "Q" Bases on our planet.
Apparently the inhabitants of the Confederation resemble us closely enough to
understand us, but we are on a very different rung of the evolutionary ladder and cannot
live together. The planet in the Confederation which was involved in this experimental
Earth colony was a twin of our Venus. In the past, extraterrestrials have spoken of a
planet Venus. There is confusion about this as there are apparently two planets referred to
as being Venus. One is in Earth's solar system, and the other is in a replica of our solar
system in the other Universe. Sol's Venus has no physical human life on it, whereas the
other supports a large civilization and is referred to as Vango Salamia - the Green Planet which is said to be larger than Earth. (The volume of our Venus is .88 that of Earth and is
therefore smaller) Salamia also has a perpetual cloud formation obscuring the surface, so
there are some similarities.
The history of Mars appears to be just the reverse. According to the Koldasians, our
Mars, in the past, had a technologically advanced civilization which destroyed itself in a
nuclear holocaust that left it a lifeless hulk. The remnant of the Martian race, according to
them, is now on Siton, a planet of the Confederation, in the "other" Universe.
40
The 1945 experimental colony of people from Earth, who were all volunteers from a
town in Switzerland, were settled in the Confederation. But after one year, the majority of
these people had to be returned to their home area. This was a bitter disappointment to the
Confederation who had expected tremendous results from the first large scale evacuation
from Earth. Apparently 'the Swiss could not adapt themselves to the Confederation style
of life on Salamia. Not that they could not get along with the Salamian people, but the
living conditions were too different. A few Swiss preferred to remain and they are now
thriving and have a small village there where they still carry on some of their Swiss
traditions and home language.
Wy-Ora commented, "As a result of the Swiss failure and other disappointments, Salamia
has withdrawn all her bases from Earth. What a pity! All the time that went into those
bases, but Salamia now feels that it is no longer worthwhile. I personally do not feel that
way! During my term of office, even if it means that I may have to come back to Earth,
these bases should continue for the Confederation. I ask you, my friends, to strengthen
your 'Q' groups. I do not feel that all is lost, so bear with me and help me with this task.
Koldas does not feel like Salamia. We still see a need for the bases on your planet."
Possibly Vango Salamia resembles our planet Venus only in the position it occupies in
that other 'mirror Universe and having cloud formations which continually obscure the
surface. A long time ago in its history, large areas of jungle, shrub and forest were dug
and ploughed into the soil and these areas became fertile. It is now truely the Green
Planet Salamia, as the koldasians refer to it, and it supplies much of the vegetable
produce of the Confederation. The surface has wide plains, where many of its cities are
located, but there are also mountainous regions, which are sparsely populated. It is known
for the beauty of its cities. The buildings are tall and round and known throughout the
Confederation for their majesty and esthetics. They are connected by enclosed causeways
with continuous moving surfaces which convey people from building to building. These
structures, with inter-connecting causeways are now found on all the planets of the
Confederation, for the Salamians have traveled far, designing and constructing these
beautiful buildings.
The capital city is Scilyn (Divine Knowledge) and was given this name because on its
outskirts there is an area of 38.4 square kilometers where thousands of physicians and
scientists practice the arts of healing. This is another gift with which the Salamians
appear to be endowed and for which they are consequently much sought after throughout
the Confederation. They excell in surgery as well as in drugless therapies, and all
branches of the healing arts are practiced in Scilyn.
It is also worth recording that the planet has many mines, which yield a mineral from
which metal is extracted for the construction of Astrael-craft. These metals, mined on
Salamia, are taken by cargo-carrier to Siton and Koldas, where the Astrael-craft are
mainly manufactured.
41
The average Salamian, man or woman, is 1.8m tall, with dark to light golden hair, blue
eyes and fair comp-plexion. The women are remarkable for their long curved eyelashes
and well-developed figures which are accentuated by the attractive clothing they wear. A
popular garment, low-cut both front and back, has thin straps over each shoulder,
crossing at the back. It reaches down to the ankles and is studded with gem-stones on the
bodice. Elbow-length gloves and elegant footwear, also studded with gems are worn with
this close-fitting garment.There are a variety of styles and colorful fabrics, and these
change with the fashions.
Men's wear on Salamia is varied. Popular is a kind of overall type garment with a zipclosure running down one side. It has long sleeves and boots to match, in a style inspired
by the uniform of the pilots.
As with the rest of the Confederation, married couples on Salamia need not practice any
form of birth control. This is due to the fact that a woman in the Confederation conceives
only two or three times during her lifetime. The average is two children to a married couple, and the Salamian physicians have perfected painless childbirth, a technique that
leaves no after-effects to mother or child.
Wy-Ora said, "There is much that I can tell you of beautiful Salamia, but there is a saying
in our language that goes...
It means, 'From the twin solar system of Grandor, to the solar system of Pyrole, a more
beautiful planet than Earth we have never seen!"'
***
Then out' of the blue came a sighting for Edwin and his wife, Elizabeth. They were
awakened by a radio transmission at 01:40 a.m. (27 July 1968) It was Wy-Ora saying,
"We have taken this opportunity and brought this ship down through your atmosphere at
night, as we may not get another opportunity to come to such a low altitude again. We are
42
approaching from the west. You should now be able to see the identification lights on the
craft. We are still at a high altitude, and I would like you, Edwin, to flash a light signal, so
that I can guide this craft directly above it. The personnel and myself will be on the lookout for your guidance."
Edwin, having gone outside, flashed his torch skyward. He was not far from the livingroom and could hear the radio quite clearly. Wy-Ora responded with, "We see your
identification light and will now bring the patrol craft directly above your home. We are
now about 300m above your house. I will tilt the patrol ship 45 degrees on its side so that
you can see the Astrael-dome. The vapor you see escaping, comes from the cooling vents
just under the dome. These vents are part of the cooling system of the magnetic motors,
which are automatically opened when we enter the atmosphere of your planet. The air
that is drawn in is heated and when it escapes through the vents, the heated air condenses
its water vapor into the colder air. I will now flash my identification lights on and off. We
can see your house quite clearly from this position. We can also see the street lighting of
the surrounding district. We must now return to altitude and will leave this position with
maximum acceleration. We will depart towards the east (over the Indian Ocean) and
when we reach our station altitude we will continue transmission for a few more
minutes."
Wy-Ora now addressed his personnel in English for the benefit of Edwin and Elizabeth.
"Stand by, all personnel, stand by.. now closing cooling vents.. .stand by for maximum
acceleration..." Edwin and Elizabeth saw the craft flash instantly away and out of sight.
CHAPTER 4
43
transmissions came from an advanced civilization. The subject matter was too simple,
even boring. The terminology used by Confederation speakers was confusing. For
example, 'dimension' was used instead of 'Universe' and this became as stumbling
block.*( *It may be that the error was on the part of the Earth human majority, who could
not at that time accept Dimension and preferred instead to substitute Universe. With
hindsight it now appears that the extraterrestrials own choice of words was the better. The
transcripts are here quoted using the substituted word Universe as written. We continue as
transcribed.) Then someone reported Edwin to the local police for illegally operating a radio transmitter.
The police inspector came and made a thorough search of the property. He found nothing
but a harmless domestic receiver which to top it all, was an old model. Sending messages
to people from outer space indeed! He treated the matter as a huge joke. Inevitably, the
stigma of a hoax was to be with Edwin for a long time to come.
Wy-Ora continued by saying, "I have spoken to my Superiors on Koldas about this matter
of your request for more evidence of our existence. At this stage we are unable to give
you the proof you are asking for. As I mentioned before, it would rob your rulers on Earth
of their freedom to choose to accept or reject us. So far they have not come to a definite
decision and we still hope that one day they will accept our offer of assistance as Pyrole
has. But time is running out! Therefore we would like to prepare the Earth's population
gradually for the acceptance of the idea of other civilizations beyond your planet."
"We must be careful as we do not want these transmissions to cause your families any
harm. Your authorities permit radio transmissions provided we give you no material
evidence or photographs. We make these radio transmissions in the simplest possible
language so that even an unschooled mind can not mistake them. I know we have a
problem with the choice of words but this will be corrected. You see, some of us have not
had much practice in the English language."*( *This was welcome light on the seemingly
childish simplicity of the communications. Perhaps such simplicity was necessary to
reduce the possibility of dangerous misinterpretation and mis-understanding, which still
occurred nevertheless. Consider how different the police official's reaction might have
been had he found an erudite treatise on space travel and been convinced that regular
communication with extraterrestrials was in fact taking place at that very house at that
time?)
Wy-Ora then told us what had happened six months earlier. The incident resulted in
partial withdrawl of Confederation patrol-craft from the immediate vicinity of Earth. It
concerned one of the two Astrael-craft which had been especially designed for
oceanographic survey. During the exploration of the seabed, they discovered subterranean
tunnels which led into large gas-filled caves. Explosions had already occurred there as a
result of the reaction caused by the entry of sea water. These explosions could be the
cause of some of our quakes or tremors. The craft was able to seal off some of the tunnels
to prevent further explosions. Liaison was maintained with the patrol craft on station
44
above Earth which relayed data to the Confederation for analysis.
On this occasion the craft was able to seal off one of the tunnels in the western Atlantic so
they decided to warn Earth authorities of the possible danger to the population nearby.
The oceanographic survey craft emerged from the sea and flew to the nearest military
base. While hovering high above the base, the craft made radio contact with the military
officer in charge who was advised of the possible danger. But the officer did not believe
the communication and said, "We do not accept warnings from aliens!" He then
commanded the Astrael-craft to surrender or he would be forced to destroy it. The Koldasian commander then replied that he would on no account surrender his craft. On
seeing a flight of aircraft taking off with missiles plainly visible under their wings, he
departed at high speed. Upon reaching station altitude, he reported to his superiors and
was ordered to return to base. When this crew returned to Koldas a Conference was
convened at the main communications building and a report was issued.
A mention appeared in a kind of magazine which Wy-Ora had before him as he spoke.
"On the cover of this magazine is a beautiful picture of Earth and underneath it the words
'Bear the beings of Earth no ill feeling, for in time to come they will learn the beauty of
real peace...' Inside are these words: 'The Council has decided to withdraw patrol craft
from Earth. The council feels this wise as further patrols may endanger lives of crew. But
Siton and Salamia have agreed to continue to patrol the magnetic fields around Earth and
Melchor.
Wy-Ora solemnly continued, '1That, my friends, is the position or our Superiors. We are
disappointed. We have lived at peace for more than two thousand years and have no grasp
for the meaning of violence, war and destruction. ... The Koldasians, who do not even use
the word war, who live on a planet called 'Peace', feel as if they had lost a friend. I hope
that one day we can be accepted by Earth's policy makers. But personally, I am of the
opinion that that will not happen in our life time. A pity.
"My friends, we must now leave for our patrol area. But before we leave, I want to
express my gratitude to you for distributing tape-recorded copies of some of our radio
transmissions. We know that there are those on your planet who are interested in such
things.
****
Nothing further was heard from the Confederation for two months. Then, one Saturday
night, there was a radio transmission beamed in from a craft overhead to the receiver. It
was Valdar who said, "We extend our greetings to you all. Wy-Ora asked me to make this
transmission for him as he is unable to be here. We have just completed a patrol to the
Pyrolean system. It is nice to be back above your home, Edwin."
Valdar then mentioned that the end of the year was approaching (1968) for the inhabitants
45
of Earth and that they would like to add their Christmas and New Year greetings to
messages of good will from Wy-Ora, his wife and daughters, from the crew and also the
staff of the way-station Melchor. He also mentioned that they have a similar event which
takes place on Koldas during the 16th month, which is the last of the cycle there, when
most of the population return to their homes and famillies to relax and share festivities.
The main emphasis of this period is on the spiritual aspect of their lives and celebrations
take place at the Island of Paradise where there are colored lights, many forms of
amusement, musicians, actors and groups of dancers, even from other planets. All tastes
are catered to and even delicious dishes from neighboring planets are served. Valdar said
he liked the space-craft displays best, with the teams of pilots from the far corners of the
Confederation demonstrating their skills. These displays hold the many thousands of
visitors spellbound for hours on end. It is a season when people from distant systems get
together to exchange ideas.
Comparing the festive seasons, Valdar said, "On Earth you pray for peace, while on
Koldas we rejoice because the Creator has blessed us with it for another year. "(Little did
he realize what events would befall them before the next year would come to an end.)
Valdar then told Edwin, his old Earth buddy, with great emotion, that he had fallen in
love! Valdar and his fiancee were to marry at the end of the Koldasian year, in three
months time. He described her as the most beautiful woman on Koldas. But as he spoke
of his forth-coming wedding, there were loud interruptions from his crew.
"Pay no attention to what my personnel are saying. I will continue; my loved one's name
is Clyveen. I can not tell you how much I love her. I should like to tell you more about
her..."
But Valdar was interrupted again and his voice was cut off. "Greetings, Edwin. This is
Nokyle speaking. I am Valdar's radio operator. I do hope you will forgive me for
disconnecting our esteemed Commander, but the personnel and I feel that we should tell
you that from the time this ship left Koldas on patrol, our Commander has spoken of
nothing else except his loved one, so much so that we all feel we are about to be married!
We would like to ask our Commander if he intends to run from his beloved on his
wedding day, for we all witnessed a strange sight on Pyrole. We hope our Commander's
bride can run as fast as he! But joking aside, we all wish him great happiness for his
future with his loved one. I will now re-connect you with him."
Valdar now continued speaking, "I thank you for your kind words. Rest assured, I do not
intend to run on our wedding day! And now let me tell you Edwin, about Clyveen. She is
tall, slim, fair skinned, with blue eyes and beautiful Koldasian fair hair. Her parents live
at a food research station in one of the loveliest areas of Koldas. The climate is fresh and
invigorating. I spend most of my rest periods there and recently asked Clyveen to become
my wife. Soon we are to be married and we intend to have children."
46
Nokyle interrupted again, this time with a remark in Koldasian which was lost on Edwin.
Valdar retaliated by saying in English, "Yes, we do intend to have children. My personnel
seem to think this is very funny but the more I look at them, the more they remind me of
the long-haired creatures swinging in the branches of trees on Earth. Although they are
crewing this craft through the timeless tunnels of the two universes (read dimensions),
they have the brains of these creatures in the trees! But anyway, Edwin, this is Clyveen's
wish as well as mine."
Before ending the transmission, which turned out to be the last Edwin received in 1968,
Valdar spoke of the marriage custom.
Eleven days before the ceremony, the couple make a promise not to see each other until
the day they are to be wed. During this time they must think deeply of the marriage laws.
The most important one is to establish whether they love each other enough to take the
marriage vow, which will bind them for life. As there is no form of divorce in their
society, many elaborate tests are made to decide compatibility. Unless the couple satisfies
all the requirements, they are not allowed to proceed with the marriage. A happy family
with one or two children is the cornerstone of their way of life.
****
As the year 1969 dawned on Earth, events changed Koldas and the way of life there.
Time was running out for the planet called 'Peace'. More than two thousand years without
war was to be cruelly ended by the time 1969 had passed on Earth. Although these beings
travel in time as well as space, they have no knowledge of the future events in store for
them. Valdar was his usual cheerful self as he made radio contact with Edwin early on
Sunday, 12 January 1969
"Greetings, my friends," he said, "This is Valdar. As this is the first transmission in your
new year, I would like to begin by bringing New Year greetings from my people on
Koldas, my personnel and myself. I would also like to congratulate your planet on your
spectacular space achievement. (Apollo 8, 21 December 1968 --The first manned lunar
orbit mission of ten orbits) You have now reached the stage when space travel is within
your grasp. In time to come, your space-craft will be travelling farther than your moon. I
am very sad in a way that your planet has conquered the space between the planet and its
moon. You see, we have a law that says, when a planet has conquered the space around it,
then this space automatically belongs to that planet. This means that we have no right to
enter this space unless we have permission to do so from the Superiors that govern that
planet. The space beyond your moon is still 'free' space and any craft from any planet
47
may fly through it. When I left Koldas, our Superiors were discussing this development
and we shall soon hear what they have decided. I hope we will still be allowed to visit
your planet and transmit to you."
Valdar then explained why there had been no radio contacts earlier.
Wy-Ora and Valdar had been given permission to test two of the newest Koldasian longdistance, interplanetary craft. It was necessary to test these craft under actual conditions
in thin and dense atmospheres of various planets as well as testing all the mechanic and
electrical devices under operating conditions.
Valdar was going to visit Salamia, Siton, Pyrc Furvey, and Byronne and then return to
Koldas. The Sonian Sixth Patrol Division was to contact the "Q" gi from time to time on
the progress of the expedit:
Valdar mentioned that Wy-Ora and his personnel were tunate as they would be visiting
some of the most beutiful systems in the Confederation. They would visit capital city of
Grandor which lies in a 'twin sunsystem. The other planets on his tour were to be Leec
Goran, Sparlane, Velaan and Novan, which is the planet on the fringe of the Grandorian
solar system. Grandorians are said to be the most highly evolved in the Confederation.
Valdar said that one marvels at fantastic designs of space-craft one sees there.
approaching Grandor in a ship, the main communical center makes radio contact and
instructs that all directional controls be set in neutral. Their main control center then takes
over and guides the visiting craft safely through the atmosphere to land it at the spaceport.
CHAPTER 5
48
Events in 1969 started the Confederation on a new phase of disengagement from Earth
which took the succeding ten years to complete. In retrospect it is clear the Confederation
was pulling out because their mission to Earth had failed. Ten years earlier Wy-Ora had
been appointed to lead this mission and it was with a sense of foreboding that he
announced to Edwin's "Q" group in a radio transmission of 1 March 1969, that a factfinding team of experts was to be sent here. Within six weeks of this announcement a
radical change took place.
Wy-Ora said, "At this moment, a specially selected team is leaving Grandor for your
planet. They will spend three of your Earth days observing it from the air. They will not
land as they can carry out minute observations from the air. A close study will be made of
the circumstances of the average inhabitant of the planet."
Wy-Ora explained that the data collected would be presented to a tribunal of Superiors
and men of wisdom from the planets of the Confederation. Their decisions would be
adhered to by all Confederation members concerned. Should they decide to withdraw
craft then regular transmissions would be curtailed or cease and only occasional radio
contacts would be made. He assured Edwin that he and his group would not be
completely abandoned. Wy-Ora said that he would personally ask permission to keep the
"Q" group informed from time to time.
To the surprise of the listeners, Wy-Ora then broached a subject which was to gain more
emphasis in the years to follow. This was a plan to evacuate some of our Earth's
inhabitants should the need arise.
Wy-Ora said, "My friends, I know I have no right to ask you this question at this stage for
after all, I am an alien, but if at any time I were to ask you to leave your planet and
accompany me to Koldas to make your home there, would you agree to do this? I realize
this may come as a bit of a shock. I also realize that life on Koldas is very different from
that on Earth. There are many things you would have to adjust to, but I feel that in time
you would adapt to your new environment and be able to settle down. I will leave this
matter with you for now for who can tell what the future will bring. You must come of
your own free will. We will not take one of you and leave others, for this is against our
principles of ethic. We do not like to separate families so as I said before all must be
willing to come."
Wy-Ora continued, "I know many of you are afraid. I do not blame you. But let me assure
you the ships are safe and very reliable. As for the inhabitants of Koldas they are like
you, flesh and blood, breathing air. The fundamental difference is that we on Koldas and
in the Confederation, foster peaceful relations and goodwill to all creatures. The cement
of our social structure is love and it is inculcated from an early age. Trust us, we will not
fail you."
Some of the more imaginative members of the group over-reacted and caused quite a stir
in family circles by making plans for immediate departure!
49
Then, a month later, on April 2nd, 1969, Edwin's radio receiver was activated
unexpectedly at 10:35 p.m. The message was disturbing but not entirely unexpected. This
time it was the Sitonian Zybo. "I have a preliminary report on the outcome of the
Tribunal which was held on Koldas recently." Zybo then explained the decision to
withdraw from the immediate vicinity of Earth. Then he continued, "Consequently, I am
sorry to say that this will be my last official transmission. This Sitonian Patrol will leave
for its new area beyond your Moon. We leave with heavy hearts for we have patrolled
this area for many years now. We wish you well and success in your new space
explorations. Soon you will have spacecraft to reach other planets in your solar system."
Zybo said that Wy-Ora would confirm the decision himself in the near future. He then
closed his radio transmission with some personal remarks to Edwin and members of the
"Q" group.
Two days later on Good Friday, a radio signal came through at 10:55 a.m. (April 14th,
1969). As promised, it was Wy-Ora himself who said that he had attended the Tribunal at
the main communications building on his home planet, Koldas, where the main events of
the last ten years concerning Earth were reviewed. Special attention was given to the
recent three-day aerial survey by the visiting team. This confirmed the existence of
conflict, violence and bloodshed, industrial unrest, strife and social injustice, poverty and
malnutrition of substantial scale. Much of the violence could not be described in detail to
the members of the Tribunal as in the Confederation people are not familiar with
violence. It is a concept entirely foreign to their nature. But the main purpose of the latest
survey became clear when Wy-Ora spoke. He said, "I am happy that our Superiors find it
unlikely that a nuclear conflict will break out at this stage on Earth. But who can tell what
the future may bring?"
He went on to say that in 1960 (9 years earlier), a similar aerial survey had disclosed that
a tremendous build-up of atomic weapons was taking place in several countries on Earth.
This caused much concern. He added that it was then decided that a special 'rescue' fleet
of spacecraft would be formed and that 300 'special' space-craft pilots were to be trained
so that, in the event of an atomic war, their contacts could possibly be evacuated.
50
In retrospect, Valdar's two-year visit to Earth and the involvement of Edwin in subsequent
events, should be viewed with this in mind.
Wy-Ora continued, "At the present moment there are about 3,000 people on Earth who
are known to the Confederation. All have been in contact with the Confederation at one
time or another. In the event of atomic war, the specially trained pilots, together with the
assistance of the 'Q' Bases and groups, will respond immediately to evacuate these
people. Recently I had mentioned the matter of evacuation again, as I feared that the
outbreak of atomic war was imminent. Happily this calamity does not appear likely at the
moment. All the other members of the Confederation have agreed to divert craft from
other operations to assist in evacuation if this becomes necessary"
Wy-Ora was obviously disappointed when he continued by saying, "Unfortunately, it has
been decided that our patrol of the immediate vicinity of your planet must be withdrawn.
This came as a great surprise to all of us in the fleet. We never imagined this would come
so soon. As you know, Sitonian, Salamian and Koldasian ships have been operating in the
area between your planet and your moon. But now this will change and our patrols will
be farther out. Confederation craft will only venture closer in case of emergency, or when
special permission has been granted by Earth's superiors."
Then,.. to reassure Edwin and his group, he said, "Although we are leaving the vicinity of
Earth, it does not mean that we will break contact with you there at 'Q' Base. When
possible we will transmit by radio as we have done before. The transmissions will not be
as frequent as they have been in the past. We are disappointed. We have enjoyed telling
you about us and sharing the information we have passed on to you. We hope this will
continue Wy-Ora said that he, personally, would be in charge of the patrol beyond the
artificial satellite Melchor located at the perimeter of our solar system. Valdar would
continue his operations in the system of Pyrole and was preparing for departure at that
moment. He said that Valdar and Clyveen were happy together.
"I now come to the most difficult part of this transmission," Wy-Ora said. "I must say
farewell for now. I have travelled to many systems and scores of planets, but there is 'a
sadness within me difficult to explain. Remember that although we part, and these
transmissions will be less frequent, we shall continue our relationship... in thought. You
will know that we have not forgotten you. I must give the order to remove all Koldasian
craft from the fields of your planet."
He then gave the command in his own language, and then followed it, for Edwin's
benefit, with an approximate translation:
"Kasalango visiango lessi vichingo Wy-Ora! Lasaka lamo-se sala-evu slavanda salakango
51
salandi lasaka kalloso lavando Si. Kasendula vanda aliaszo on Si Wy-Ora."
With a final farewell. Wy-Ora ended the radio message. Edwin had hoped that his good
friend Valdar, whom he came to know so well in the early sixties, would add a few words
to say goodbye. But nothing further came through the radio that morning.
Three days later, at 02:00 a.m. on April 27th, a steady call from the radio receiver woke
Edwin and his wife Elizabeth. It was the Koldasian Fourth Patrol Division calling.
"Standby for transmission...", repeating this at intervals for some time. Surely that must
be Valdar! They got up and donned dressing gowns to settle down in their lounge and
listen and record the broadcast coming through.
"My friends, we regret waking you at this hour.This is Valdar. Greetings from the
personnel of this craft and myself. We are enroute to the system of Pyrole to carry out our
next patrol duty tour. We may not have another opportunity of speaking to you, so forgive
us for arousing you now. First of all, Clyveen and myself would like to thank you and
your members for your congratulations on our wedding day. It was much appreciated by
both of us and we thank you for your gesture. Yes, I am now a man with a purpose in life!
I have promised to share my life with someone who means more to me than anything else
in the universe."
He spoke of their home on Koldas, which is quite close to Wy-Ora's, overlooking an
island. He spoke about the sunset walks along the shore of their inland sea. Valdar said
that his rest periods from patrol duties were spent in this idyllic setting; newlyweds in a
cosmic heaven.
"But here I go again, said Valdar, "speaking about myself. I know how you must feel
about the withdrawl and I confess that I realised for some time that this would come.
There are an ever increasing number of unmanned satellites in orbit around your planet,
which have now become a hazard."
Valdar then reiterated that most of Earth's governments, political rulers and Superiors,
knew of the Koldasian operations and the Confederation. He said they had known of the
presence of Confederation craft over their countries and in the oceans for a very long
52
time.*( *The presence of extraterrestrial spacecraft in our seas sounds exotic and farfetched, but we need only refer to the Filiberto Cardenas case in Hialeah, Florida, or the
David Delmundo case in Puerto Rico, where the contactees were taken to underwater
UFO bases in operation. In the Netherlands Stefan Denaerde was taken underwater in a
UFO for 8 hours, where beings from another planet showed him transmitted images from
their home system and discussed its life, society and technology with him in detail and
compared it to ours. At the end of that meeting the huge circular disc-shaped spacecraft
surged from under the sea into the air and disappeared ascending at a steep angle. Water
is no more hostile an element than deep space, and should be equally navigable, and may
be used for this purpose more than we know.) It is a sobering thought that most of the
population of this planet is not yet ready to accept life beyond Earth... Valdar added that
our governments do not want people to accept this fact. The Confederation appreciates
the need for such a policy because the acceptance of extraterrestrial life would have far
reaching effects for Earth. A gradual transition to this concept would be far better.
"What makes me sad," Valdar said, "is the unnecessary bloodshed and warfare on Earth. I
often think of the little children who are the innocent victims of all this violence. Infants
without homes having to find refuge, food and water, yet they have no idea why their
parents are at war. There are areas of dire poverty. All these scenes and much more were
recently recorded by the three-day aerial survey. This too contributes to the
Confederation's decision to withdraw their patrols."
Valdar said that Earth would not be completely abandoned. A very watchful eye would be
kept on those countries which engage in warfare or physical violence whenever it was
possible. Then returning to more mundane matters, he mentioned that he was flying in
Koldas' latest type space-craft. "This craft I am now piloting is one of the latest models.
As I sit here and gaze about me, I see masses of new control panels. These are different in
shape and size from the older models. Even the smell within this craft is new! In time, I
am sure we will get used to the new lay-out which incorporates many improvements. All
our old patrol craft have been transferred to the Pyrolean Fleet. The Fourth Koldasian
division was then equipped with these new craft which are considerably improved and
have more efficient systems."
"Now, unfortunately, I have to end this transmission for we must continue on our journey.
I do not say farewell. There are no farewells on Koldas. We say, 'Tomorrow the sun rises
to bring a new day, though we must part for the present, we shall meet again.
"So, for the present we part, but we shall meet again."
These were the last words Edwin and the "Q" group heard from the Confederation for
nearly seven months, one of the longest breaks in transmission.
The months dragged on as life continued as usual and Edwin often cast longing eyes into
the wide blue sky when outdoors. He sent his thought messages, trying to keep in contact.
53
He tried to receive by thought but nothing came through. When would they return? At
night, he often lay awake waiting in vain for the familiar call from his radio reciver. ...
'Calling 'Q' Base'... For those who wait, time itself seems to have slowed down.
*****
54
"Will Koldas have to fight the Galdonians to maintain their peaceful existence?"
The question had an all too familiar ring.
"Koldas is certainly not prepared for invasion, Wy-Ora said. "We have no armaments
whatsoever to protect our people. The only possible form of defense we have is our
Astrael Fleet, and if necessary it will be used to preven
these invading craft from reaching our solar system. Siton has offered to strengthen us
should an emergency arise. But our Superiors have declined to accept this generous offer
for it is felt that Koldas must defend herself and that other peaceful planets should not
become involved on our account. So let us hope that Galdonia will think again before
considering such a hostile move against us. Their craft are primitive compared with what
Koldas has in a way of space technology. We do not want war, but if it is inevitable we
shall stand against whatever they choose to strike with."
The news of the imminent war-threat to their friend and his planet shocked Edwin and his
wife and the "Q" group members. Centuries of peaceful co-existence was about to be
cruelly shattered. A powerful member of the Confederation was under threat of attack. On
our blood-soaked Earth, the threat of war is almost always present somewhere. Ironically
the planet called PEACE was about to become involved in a war for survival.
About a month later, Wy-Ora was back with another eagerly awaited transmission. It
came through at 8:15 in the evening. He gave his position as 537 km above the home of
Edwin. He said that he had been delegated to represent Koldas at a Confederation
conference held on Grandor and he had just returned. These conferences were held
regularly and he gave a description of the magnificent hall in the city of Veenu. The
colossal dome of the hall was completely transparent, and the delegates sat in a circle
beneath it. In the centre, on an elevated platform, were the seats of the Superiors. >From
this position they could participate in each discussion of the current affairs of the
Confederation.
Each planetary delegate sits in his or her own private cubicle comfortably furnished and
fitted with a sophisticated recording system so that a complete record of the proceedings
and their actions could be taken back to their home planets. Wy-Ora said the conference
lasted for six days and was almost entirely devoted to the crisis facing Koldas.
All possible aspects of the situation had been discussed and many proposals had been
made and considered by the assembled delegates. The consensus of opinion was that war
appeared inevitable if the threat was not withdrawn, and that Koldas might be forced to
defend itself.
55
Wy-Ora continued, "I have never been so completely exhausted after a conference as I
was on that occasion. Never have I attended a gathering where so many ideas were
presented to the Superiors. One of the decisions reached will end some patrol duties
Koldas has undertaken in the past. This will conserve her resources as preparations are
made to resist a possible attack. Grandor, Byronne and Salamia will relieve Koldas of her
patrol commitments which she has faithfully carried out for so many years.
With an air of optimism, Wy-Ora said, "I still feel that there is hope for a peaceful
solution. I ask you all to join us on our planet in our prayer to the Almighty One to
strengthen us against this peril. I feel sure that our prayers will be answered.."
The latest news was that the Galdonian Fleet had made no hostile move yet against
Koldas. But day by day more and more Galdonian space-craft were arriving and the time
for action was drawing close.
Wy-Ora said "We will do nothing until they make a threatening move. We shall then act
to counter their move against us."
In closing he said, "My friends, I do not know when our craft will return again to your
system. So I have asked the Sitonian Zybo to keep you informed of events taking place in
the Confederation." With a short salutation he signed off and was gone!
NOTE- This whole drama sounds preposterous and too much like our science fiction, too
similar to Earth nature, but remember that fiction is based on very potential realities. The
Koldasians as well as other Confederation members are human and as such, perhaps,
subject to other human failings. The fact remains that there were a number of other
witnesses who heard the radio transmissions "live", who examined the radio, and the
antenna, and the surroundings, and searched for confederates and a way to do this without
ever finding any real evidence of fraud. They were just as interested in not being fooled
as you and I, and some spent a lot more money, effort and time than you and I to find out.
If we prefer to think fake or fraud then there are other considerations. If this were faked
then the perpetrator had found a way, with no identifiable equipment, to transmit power
on a radio wave to activate and run a radio set and turn it on and off in front of witnesses,
with nobody touching it. If this were faked there were other tricks to be mastered: the
aerial displays seen by others, the unnatural strength of George, and other similar
phenomena. And this did not end. It is still going on!
56
Continuation of the ufo-contact story from the planet KOLDAS from a anti-universe
- which nature, and also their ways of travelling to Earth will be described in later parts of
this incredible story which for the most is recorded through a special reconstructed
radio (se part 1).
CHAPTER 6
Invasion
The ominous build-up of the armada in the Koldasian asteroid belt must have
appalled(forferdet) the population of that planet. For us wars and continuous fighting are
57
part of our way of life. Indeed, Kenneth Clark suggests that the early stages of all
civilizing epochs on Earth began with success in war and that fighting is apparently necessary to stabilize the resulting civilization.
At the other end of the scale, Koldas had enjoyed 20 centuries of history without fighting
of any kind and consequently the only deterrent they could muster was their fleet of
Astrael spacecraft. These craft are not intended for military service but are equipped with
a "Sun-ray" disintegrating laser or charged particle ray-gun which is designed to
annihilate meteorites in the magnetic traffic lanes. Its pencil-like "laser" beam stabs at
any object, destroying it in a brilliant flash without leaving a trace. Would it save their
civilization? How would the population, unprepared for violence, face up to the coming
onslaught?
Five days before Christmas the fateful news came by radio. A Byronnian cargo Astraelcraft relayed the message from Melchor. "I am Kashendo, from Melchor control. I have
very grave news for you, Edwin. Two weeks ago, the alien Galdonians attacked Koldas.
Guided missiles in large numbers were launched, causing widespread damage including
destruction of the main communications center. During this attack, three thousand people
lost their lives and many forests were set on fire. The defense was conducted by Wy-Ora,
who led the first division of Astrael-craft. Five craft were lost with all crews and fourteen
were damaged."
Edwin was stunned by the news and could hardly believe his ears. Kashendo continued
his report. "At this very moment, Galdonia is preparing to launch another attack. The
Superiors of Koldas have ordered the evacuation of tall buildings in the main cities. The
people have moved to the adjoining countryside or taken shelter in basements. In spite of
the first losses suffered by the people, morale is high. We are confident that the invaders
will be overcome and harmony restored to the planet of Peace...
Kashendo then explained the difficulties the Kold-asian patrol craft had locating the alien
guided missiles in the asteroid belt. The region was a vast maze of debris from thousands
of planetoids and bits of barren rock. It was equally perilous to the Galdonians and some
of their missiles were seen to collide with rocks and explode. The Astrael-craft slowed
down considerably, while looking for these 'needles in a haystack'. Once a missile was
located, it was destroyed by a single burst from the 'Sun-ray
"Unfortunately," continued Kashendo, "we were not able to inform you earlier of the
Galdonian attack on our planet. Our radio communication from Melchor needs an
Astrael-craft between us and you on Earth to relay the signals as they cannot reach you
directly. We therefore thank the Byronnian Commander of a cargo carrier for making this
transmission possible.
58
"You will be kept informed of developments from time to time, either by Melchor of by
the Sitonian, friend Zybo."
Two weeks later, on January 2, 1970, his voice was heard again from Melchor at 6:30
p.m. A Byronnian craft assisted in relaying the transmission. It was most disturbing news.
"Two Earth-days ago," the message ran, "Galdonian space assault-craft invaded the
Koldasian atmosphere. There were 37 craft in all. These were manned craft of immense
proportions. Their objective was to capture the strategic tracking station in the northern
hemisphere. This installation was hidden in a remote forest and had a staff of over a
thousand. A Corynthian Astrael division was launched immediately to intercept the
invaders."
Kashendo explained that the Corynthian was a craft especially designed for long-distance
interplanetary travel. It incorporates the most advanced designs with automatic
instrumentation and is one of the most formidable craft in annihilating power as well as
instant translocating capacity.*( *Translocation is a form of instant displacement in
space.)
In the encounter, most of the alien craft were destroyed and forced to land on Koldas
although some escaped. They failed in their mission to destroy the tracking station. The
prisoners were interrogated and after the initial language problem was overcome, the
Galdonians admitted that they were assisted by at least two other planets in their system.
Apparently, one of the reasons for attacking Koldas was to capture their minerals, food
and other resources which they needed.
The people of Koldas were appalled to hear that planets would go to war, destroy and kill
many thousands for such a trivial reason. The Galdonian prisoners seemed to be fearless,
indicating their belief that with the aid of the other two planets they would eventually
overrun Koldas and bring her to her knees.
In the meantime, Koldas had no alternative but to brace herself for the coming onslaught.
Efforts were made to extract information from the captives which may lead to the
location of these three hostile planets. As Kashendo phrased it, "We are civilized beings,
although we are at war, we shall not put our prisoners to any 'discomfort' so as to compel
them to reveal their secret to us." He added that all their hopes were pinned on the
fabulous new Corinthian Astrael-craft and the hope that they would be able to find the
planets concerned and put an end to their unwelcome designs in time.
But two days later at 9:45 a.m., a very concerned Kashendo spoke through the receiver,
stressing the very urgency of the message for Edwin. "At this moment, while I am
speaking to you, Galdonia is in the throes of launching another attack on Koldas. An
59
estimated 3,000 missiles are heading for our home planet. The Corynthian division has
been alerted to intercept them before they reach the limits of our atmosphere. This is a
crisis of first order for Koldas. It is the largest force that Galdonia has so far launched
against us... Must discontinue transmission for now, as all channels are required for
emergency traffic. When possible will inform you on the outcome of this attack.
Farewell..."
Day by day, more news of this latest attack was expectedby Edwin and his group, but
nothing was received at all. Was there no craft in the vicinity of Earth to relay a message
from Melchor? Or had this attack then overwhelmed the planet so unprepared for such a
war?
Would all the other planets of the Confederation fall like nine-pins in an all-out war
among the stars? Would Earth be on the list of targets? Had our asteroid belt already been
mined by alien missiles? Days passed into weeks and then on the third week at 06:45
pm., the long awaited message came.
"Unfortunately," said Kashendo, "we have not been able to contact you earlier, due to the
complete destruction of the main communications centre on Koldas. And since then, this
artificial satellite has been overloaded with message traffic and the handling of spacecraft
of the Confederation. In my last transmission I informed you that a barrage of Galdonian
missiles was on its way to Koldas. These missiles were all directed to converge on the
main communications center. Unfortunately for us, they did penetrate our defenses and
scored hits on this vital nerve center. Close to a thousand of our operating personnel lost
their lives. Many more were injured and large areas of surrounding facility was leveled to
the ground. But Galdonia did not get things all their way! Amongst the guided missiles
were hundreds of assault craft manned by Galdonian attack forces and their weapons.
They were to land and occupy the communication- complex of buildings. But this
operation failed then completely. A Corynthian squadron entirely destroyed 57 of the
attacking vessels and the remainder retreated. But the pilotless missiles caused
tremendous damage by being concentrated on a relatively small area. For every two
missiles destroyed, at least one penetrated our defense and brought complete havoc and
terror to all those who lived around the area. The attack lasted for three and a half hours."
"The worst blow for Koldas," said Kashendo, "was the almost complete destruction of the
Corynthian division which was just ready for departure on the search for these hostile
planets. More than three quarters of them were destroyed in violent explosions and it will
take much valuable time to replace these craft on which the hopes of Koldas were
focused."
From what Kashendo said in his latest transmission. it was obvious that Koldas was
staggering under the blows of the aggressor, but at the same time, the planet was licking
60
her wounds and making an all-out effort to rally her resources. He said that another
Corynthian Division was already on the assembly line and that as soon as these craft were
ready for operation, they would leave under the command of Valdar. A determined search
would be made in the as yet unexplored suspect regions to find the aggressor planets.
Devastating news. Meanwhile Kalaal would be entering this unexplored area with 34
Astrael patrol-craft until the new Corynthian fleet could take over. Here the Galdonians
were expected to be in hiding, probably in large numbers. If only this threat could be
removed, Koldas would be free from the missile attacks.
Wars have occurred on many civilizations in the universes and destructed human culture but the experiences
of these pains have led these planets to higher levels of sympathy for their cosmic
brothers and sisters.
Twenty-four hours later Kashendo was back with another radio message. This was at
08:30 on January 24th, 1970. "At last we have some encouraging news. Kalaal's patrol
division has located a large pocket of Galdonian craft and missiles. These were being
held in reserve behind the asteroid belt. This discovery was a stroke of luck because this
is a vast uncharted region. Kalaal attacked the missiles immediately with the Sun-ray and
annihilated many. We feel that this is a break-through and clues found inside the alien
craft may lead to other hidden depots at some strategic locations nearer Koldas. Kalaal s
initial success has prompted our Superiors to send yet another Astrael patrol division into
this area and Valdar will be leaving almost immediately with 72 craft."
This was good news, a ray of hope for Edwin and his "Q" Group members and friends
who took a keen interest in developments. They had been living under a cloud ever since
the news of the attack on Koldas broke. They all hoped that time could be gained for the
planet which had been singled out for the initial attack by the invaders.
If only Koldas were able to mobilize her resources quickly then her obvious technical and
spiritual superiority must surely win. Then there was the potential of the combined
strength of the other planets in the Confederation. Surely they would not stand by and
allow an enemy of their highly developed civilization go unchallenged. Thus, even
among great planets, fighting seems to be necessary to guard civilization. The invaders
would have to be vanquished again. We do not know how many times this has happened.
History records that they have returned to the attack again and again, and even Earth has
not escaped attention. The Confederation has never completely wiped out this opponent,
leaving their destiny to be decided by the Divine One.*( *There may be a very important
object lesson here. These are not the first extraterrestrials to describe long time
61
observation of Earth and a history of advanced civilizations on our planet destroyed by
attackers from space. The frequency may not be great but the threat is always there.
Perhaps our only safety in the long-run is to join a confederation of planets affording a
broader range of protection. Perhaps even associations of confederations is necessary as
has already been described by UFOnauts.)
In the meantime, life for Earth's inhabitants moved on as usual; the vast majority
oblivious of the drama unfolding on another planet who had been observing us. Edwin
and Elizabeth's first child, Michelle, was born on the 7th of February, 1970, bringing new
domestic responsibilities. Instead of messages from space, their minds where on nappies,
bottles, baths and feeding times.
On the Koldasian satellite Melchor, there was much increase in activity. Craft after craft
entered and left through the heavy' airlock gates. It is an oasis for the space traveller
where crew and craft can find rest and repair. Inside the giant sphere there are
comfortable quarters and even replica outdoor scenes with lawns, shrubs, fountains and
recreation. Towering above the levels, with their maze of tunnels and lodging halls, is the
huge transparent observation dome; the nerve center of the giant sphere with its eyes and
ears. There are antenna bristling in all directions for the receiving and transmitting
instruments. Illuminated dials and panels are manned continuously by men and women
operators. At the highest level is the control bridge with a cubicle where the captain of the
"ship", at this time our friend Kashendo, is stationed.
Although Melchor 's transmitters were loaded wit priority traffic, Kashendo found time to
send a radio message to Edwin when one of the Confederation's craft was in Earth s
vicinity to relay his signals. This occurred about a week after Elizabeth had her baby.
After identifying himself, Kashendo spoke to them "I have a special message for you
Edwin and Elizabeth Congratulations from us all on the arrival of your baby daughter!
We send our best wishes for mother and child Wy-Ora, Valdar, and Mank-ton send their
congratulation as well. All of them ask me to convey their best wish on this occasion."
Kashendo continued by saying that Valdar, Kalaa and Mank-Ton were keeping well.
62
Although their duties took them far from the Koldasian solar system, they feel they were
serving the cause best by patrolling distant fields until the invading planets were found.
Though thousands of Koldasians had lost their lives, their morale was still high.
Everyone believed in ultimate victory over the force which threatened their planet.
Kashendo continued. No further attacks have been made on Koldas recently. Valdar and
Kalaal have discovered many hidden arsenals within the asteroid belt an beyond.
Thousands of missiles have been destroyed. Strangely enough, no other Galdonian craft
have been sighted but our Superiors feel that this may be the lull before the storm. At
present all is quiet. The face of Koldas has changed during this short period of war.
Temporar housing has been provided for all who lost their homes and places of strategic
importance have been reinforce( and armed with devices capable of destroying attacking
craft.)
"Yes," said Kashendo, "Koldas has changed. We find it difficult adjusting to our new way
of life. The spirit of the people is not broken. In spite of the changes., they smile and
carry on. We are confident that in the end we shall overcome these aggressors. It is
strange how a nation which has not experienced a war for thousands of years has been
able to adapt itself so rapidly to these new conditions. Our Astrael divisions are being
reinforced almost daily and those lost in battle replaced. Soon our new Corynthian
Division will be ready and Koldas will then penetrate deeply beyond the asteroid belt to
seek out these aggressors who have brought death and destruction to us.'
"As I gaze through these large windows of the observation dome," said Kashendo, now in
a more relaxed voice "I see thousands of stars stretching out in all directions in a neverending carpet. I wonder about my planet, and I think about your Earth too. Then I think
of the many thousands of planets in the thousands of systems in the thousands of
galaxies. Some have not even been discovered yet. I think too of the many languages in
which these different races converse with each other. As I sit here and ponder these
matters, I sense the grandeur and splendor of the Divine One's creation. How awesome
are these universes in which we dwell, and the others beyond. Surely, with all this
splendor about us, peace should reign. What motivates and drives civilized creatures to
cause pain and suffering to other living creatures? Are we not all one family?"
Kashendo continued his reverie, "You know, this station is often visited by wanderers of
deep space. I often think of how it would be if your spacecraft would visit this station on
their journeys into deeper space. Your astronauts would see the inscription in our tongue
above the airlock - MELCHOR, WELCOME TO ALL -. Yes, this would be wonderful.
But it may not occurr in my life-time, although it will happen one day!"
63
"As I am sitting here talking to you on Earth, it reminds me of the training period I spent
on your planet. Yes, I was there for five years... in Australia. There I learned to speak
your language and I met many people who helped me a great deal during my stay.
Everyone I met was very kind and considerate, but most of them did not have the faintest
idea that I was not an inhabitant of Earth. I must say that I really loved my stay with you
and I have many pleasant memories.
"I will let you in on a little secret. During my stay there I met a wonderful girl and we fell
in love. Her name is Linda. When I completed my training period, Linda insisted on
accompanying me to Koldas. There we were married. We have both found great
happiness... and we often think of the wonderful days we had on Earth.
It was pleasant talking to you, but now I must close. I will be contacting you again at the
earliest opportunity. Many thanks to the Byronnian craft for assisting with the relay of
this transmission. For the time being, farewell from Melchor..."
True to his word, the now familiar voice from Melchor brought a short message about
four weeks later that no further attacks had been made on Koldas.
However, on March 24th, there was news of another attack. "Another blow has been
struck at Koldas. Two of your weeks ago, Galdonian missiles completely destroyed a
small town on the northern side. I knew this town well because I was born in Typhyliano
and spent my youth growing up there. Thousands of people lost their lives and many
more were injured. I was deeply shocked when I was told the damage. All the survivors
were evacuated and the place is now a ghost town, smouldering ruins. Yes, Koldas has
had a taste of the horror and futility of war."
Kashendo also mentioned that the newly replaced Corynthian Division had left three
Earth-days ago to reconnoitre (norsk rekognosere/sondre) the unexplored regions for the
hostile planet or planets. He said the division had been divided into three task forces
which would also periodically report to Melchor.
NOTE- Kashendo 's voice was another to come through the radio regularly in addition to
Valdar and Wy-Ora, Zybo, Mank-Ton, Kalaal, and others, all with different accents and
characters, and all heard at one time or another by other witnesses. If this were staged and
the voices in fact local, it is strange that in the 23 years this has been going on none of
those voices has come forward and identified themselves to expose the sham -- which
they would also have had to keep up for the same 23 years. None of the group of personal
friends around Edwin W., nor his wife, ever recognized any of these voices as alter
personalities of Edwin or even characterizations within his capability. He affects no other
64
characters besides his own natural personality. A sham on this kind of scale to fool so
many for so long seems to be an impossibility. Broadcasting equipment is expensive and
nobody involved had money of that kind, and they would only be fooling themselves, as
nothing was done with this before.
"Never before," said Kashendo, "have I felt so helpless! I am anxious for the safety of my
family and friends on Koldas. They are in the front line and I am relatively safe here on
Melchor. Now that we have tasted the bitterness of war, we shall appreciate peace even
more than we did before. Let us hope that our Corynthian Division will soon succeed.
"But now, let us return to more pleasant things. I am seated here in the observation dome
and look in the direction of your sun, there is a wonderful sight. I see a lonely traveler of
the heavens gowned in a gorgeous cloak of silver trailing 45 million miles behind it. A
wanderer in space... It is a comet which we can see from this way-station. (Comet
Bennet) It is quite a sight. It reminds me of your ancient Egypt. Way back in history, a
comet appeared in their skies, but this comet was one of our Starships, one of the early
ones to land on your Earth. I must tell you more about those star-ships, for there are some
fascinating records in our archives, but for the moment, this relayed radio transmission
must end. We wish you well from Melchor, until next time..."
Next time came under most unusual circumstances; twenty minutes after splash-down of
the ill fated Apollo 13! Man was making his first attempts to reach beyond his solar
system. Sputnik, the first satellite and the first spaceman, had already been sent aloft. Neil
Armstrong had made the first giant leap for mankind.
The whole world had witnessed every step of man's voyage to the Moon. Project Apollo
was already well into its stride. Then came the 13th mission of this kind. The launch at
13:13 hours went off without a hitch but 56 hours later there was an explosion in the
service module making it totally ineffective. (The date was April 17th, 1970). The
astronauts were completely dependent on the Lunar Module which was designed for an
operational life of 48 hours. The shortest return trajectory would take 63 hours and the
problem of getting home was serious. The explosions deprived the Command Module of
electricity, water and oxygen and their batteries were run down.
Twice during the epic home-run, it almost became necessary to transfer the astronauts to
an Astrael-craft which had come to the rescue! But the combined efforts and ingenuty of
the astronauts and the hard-working ground control, won the day. At the splashdown, the
ship had barely enough power to open the three main descent parachutes as one of its
three batteries was dead. It was no wonder that President Nixon rearranged those famous
Churchillian words: Never have so few owed so mucth to so many!
65
Just twenty minutes after splashdown, Edwin was alerted on his radio receiver by Zybo
of the Sitonian Sixth Patrol. "Greetings. No doubt you have heard the good news that the
three astronauts have safely landed in the recovery area. The Confederation, my
personnel and myself are happy to hear that they are safe. For the past three Earth-days,
we have been keeping a close watch over the stricken American spacecraft."
"Melchor informed us of the plight of your three astronauts. My Superiors instructed me
to respond immediately and give aid to them if necessary. When we reached their position
we contacted the commander of the American craft by radio. At first he would not
acknowledge our transmission, so we positioned our Astrael craft alongside their craft.
We could see the Americans observing us through their observation window. One of them
had some kind of a photographic instrument and we presumed they were making a record
of our presence.
"But soon after they had recovered from their surprise, the astronauts made radio contact
with our Astrael craft. Their first words were, 'We come in peace...
Then they identified themselves and the command pilot of the American spacecraft said,
'Are you real live Martians? And are you as green as they say?1 My friends we all
laughed at his joke!
"Before the Americans contacted us, they had advised their main base on Earth of our
presence. We have made a recording of this transmission and I would like you to listen to
them describing our Astrael craft when they first observed us.
The recording which Zybo now played back to Edwin in his radio transmission to
Pinetown, Natal, resembled earlier ones made by previous Apollo Astronauts.
NOTE- This is not the first case of UFO contact with our space vehicles recorded
however.The W.German "UFO Nachrichten" for 15 July 1969 reported UFO contact with
Apollo 8, the last one lasting 11 minutes during which time the capsule left its course.
Pedro Romaniuk of Argentina wrote in his book "Desde el Cosmos nos Vigilan" that the
Russian "Voskod" I, encountered a UFO in orbit.
The whole world had witnessed and listened to every step of man's voyage to the Moon
but this message was obviously only meant for the ears of their control centre at Houston.
It is describing the strange object that has just come into view outside the capsule. The
words of the three astronauts, each in turn in quick succession and sometimes
overlapping, came across with excitement and an occasional touch of earthy jargon:
66
"Yes," continued Zybo, "as the command pilot and his crew said, they could not believe
what their own eyes were seeing. We must have looked a strange sight hovering there
next to their disabled craft. I should imagine an Astrael-craft must look strange to anyone
who sees it for the first time.
"Later, after that first radio contact with the American astronauts, we became acquainted
with them and soon we were friends."
"Twice during their return journey, we thought that we would have to transfer them to our
67
ship as further problems occurred. But they were able to rectify these and for the rest of
the homeward journey we remained close to them.
"After they had safely entered Earth's atmosphere, we followed for a short way and
wished our new-found friends farewell, and while we are here, we took this opportunity
to make this transmission as we had a message for you from the Commander of Melchor.
"He asked me to inform you," continued Zybo, "that Melchor will contact you again as
soon as it is possible to get through. At the moment they have a problem as they have to
rely on a Byronnian Astrael-craft to relay their transmission but as soon as such a craft is
within range, they will contact you. Unfortunately, I must now end this direct
transmission to you, as we have to resume our patrol duties. Farewell...."
It so happened that two days later, on April 19th, 1970, there was a radio transmission
from Melchor. Kashendo said he was glad to hear from Zybo that the astronauts landed
safely. He also said that they had been monitoring all recent manned Apollo Moon
missions at the request of one of Earth's governments.
"When your astronauts left for your Moon, we followed their progress and on receipt of
their distress signals, we contacted Koldas advising them of the plight of the occupants of
the badly damaged craft. I was then informed by my Superiors to send a message to the
nearest Astrael-craft and Commander Zybo of the Sitonian Division happened to be in
close proximity at the time.
"He responded immediately and after he had located the damaged craft he accompanied
them around your Moon and then back to Earth. He finally left them, after they had safely
entered your atmosphere. At regular intervals during the return journey, we on Melchor
were kept informed by Zybo regarding their progress. All of us in the center were
relieved to hear they eventually made a safe landing on Earth."
Kashendo then surprised the listeners by saying that Melchor had been honored by the
visit of a special guest. He said that the guest was seated right before him while his
Corynthian craft was being serviced below in the Astrael hangar area. It was the first time
that a Corynthian craft had visited Melchor!
Kashendo said that their guest was none other than Commander Valdar of the Second
Koldasian Astrael Patrol Division. Valdar was apparently on a special mision for he and
fifteen other commanders were on their way to Byronne. But before handing over to
Valdar, he added that Edwin must have missed hearing from his old friend, 'George'. This
was certainly true! Since the outbreak of hostilities on Koldas, Edwin had been anxiously
awaiting news of his old friend.
68
Valdar continued by giving more details of the new Corynthian craft, describing it as the
ultimate in offensive weapons which they have devised. It is a craft of immense
proportions with large numbers of Sun-ray disintegrators strategically placed, giving it an
awesome capacity for annihilation. A veritable battle-cruiser incorporating the last word
in space translocation capability.
"It is strange," continued Valdar, "to find that the Galdonians are very different from us in
appearance. Even more puzzling is their mental make-up, for they appear to have an
insatiable appetite for killing and causing pain and anguish to others. They may have
found our peaceful Koldas an easy target in the past, but I hope soon we shall change the
ideas of the people we call the 'Outer Worlds'."
In closing, Valdar said that he was asked to pass on best wishes from Clyveen,
Commander Wy-Ora, Commander Kalaal and also Commander Mank-Ton, all rising
69
rapidly in their new military defense. They all promised to make radio contact again
when it would be possible. Then, as if addressing Edwin personally, he said, "I often
think of those carefree times when we used to do our patrols over your planet Earth, and
all those transmissions we used to make to you and the other Bases. It gave us much
pleasure! And now, you and Elizabeth have a baby daughter. Ah yes, my friend Edwin, I
can't get used to the idea that you are a father now. When I last saw you we were both
single! Now we both have responsibilities. We are both older and I hope, wiser too! Do
you remember the many hours we spent together? Keep up your spirits, Ed, for one day
we shall surely meet again.
"But now I must end, to all my friends on the planet Earth... May God Bless you.
"This is Valdar, now handing over to Commander Kashendo." Kashendo said, "That was
Commander Valdar. I wish you could see him seated before me. He looks impressive in
his one-piece sky-blue Koldasian uniform with the gold epaulets of a Corynthian
Commander. Yes, we are indeed honored to have him aboard this station with his crew
and the Corynthian. We feel so much safer in his presence! I hope that they will pay this
station a visit soon with the new fleet of Corynthians. We hope to make contact with you
again so that you may hear Valdar tell us more of the exploits of these new craft."
"We must now close as the Byronnian craft responsible for the relay must continue on its
journey. We can't delay them any longer. We thank them for relaying this transmission.
Melchor to 'Q' Base, Farewell."
When Kashendo's voice faded away the receiver was silent for the next forty days.
CHAPTER 7
70
they nevertheless went to extraordinary lengths to keep in touch with Edwin's "Q" Group!
By Earth's standards, it is a complete mystery as to why they behaved like this. Today
however, there is a strong hint that future planetary events will make these actions more
readily understandable.
It was Valdar who came through one evening late in May (May 30th, 1970) with the latest
news of the war and the casualty list. In a solemn tone he said that Galdonia had struck a
double blow at Koldas. The one directed to the south was obviously a diversion which
drew a substantial part of Koldas' main Astrael fleet. Galdonia then launched their main
attack in the north, using a new weapon which turned out to be far more deadly than the
guided missiles.
They dropped thousands of containers filled with a potent virus! "Yes," said Valdar
gravely, "Koldas has indeed been brought to her knees. As soon as the plight of the
northern towns was realized, thousands of craft were sent to evacuate the people from the
stricken area. But as fast as people were evacuated, the faster the virus spread. Many died
in agony before they could be rescued. Water and food became contaminated causing
many more to lose their lives. Vast numbers of the dead had to be hurriedly buried in
mass graves. Then, not only was the virus alone in killing our people but other diseases
spread as epidemics."
Clearly Valdar was deeply moved by the horror of the latest attack on his planet. After
Galdonia had dealt this terrifying blow, they transmitted a message to the people of
Koldas. This was the first time that they had communicated at all since they attacked. The
words were in the Koldasian language and warned that all Koldasian towns would be
subjected to the same treatment if Koldas did not surrender immediately.
Valdar continued saying, "You will recall that the last time I spoke to you, I was on my
way to Byronne. When I returned with the division of Corynthians we set out
immediately to continue the search for Galdonia. Our craft eventually found the planet
which has brought us so much grief. We attacked three large cities which were
completely destroyed. I think that Galdonia launched the virus attack in retaliation. It is
now blow for blow... and many innocent people lose their lives. But Galdonia should not
overlook one vital point and that is, by attacking one planet in the Confederation, they are
in fact taking on all the other planets too. Byronne has already responded when they
heard of our plight by dispatching fifteen Byronnian Corynthian Divisions to assist us."
"At present we are awaiting their arrival. There will be a total of 4,075 craft in all when
the whole fleet has assembled and we shall then strike Galdonia again. We either win or
lose... With the aid of the Byronnian Divisions, I feel that Galdonia will have little chance
of surviving such a massive onslaught. Commander Wy-Ora has been put in charge of the
fleet and will lead the campaign. I will be his second in command."
71
It is remarkable that Valdar had such confidence in Edwin's "Q" Group, that he could
send such vital information on the eve of a major operation. Wasn't this a grave security
risk? How about the possibility of Outer World agents among "Q" group members?
Anyway, he ended the radio transmission by expressing the hope that he would soon
announce the end of the war. He also conveyed Wy-Ora's good wishes to all "Q" base
members.
NOTE- Actually the "Q" Base reception was quite well protected. The communications
came in on a narrow beam of discrete frequency aimed directly at the radio from above.
The messages were closely guarded by the group and sensitive information was not
released outside a trusted few until later.
Then, just as he was closing down, he was interrupted and said, "We have just received
an urgent message from Melchor. It grieves me to have to tell you... it has now been
confirmed that both Mank-Ton and Kalaal have lost their lives in battle over Koldas.
During the last attack they and many other gallant commanders were killed and the toll of
this last vicious attack is still rising." On that grim note Valdar ended his transmission and
was gone.
Four days hence, D-day came for Galdonia, and Edwin and everyone were on
tenterhooks. What was the outcome of the battle? What would be the consequences for
Earth if the Confederation were defeated?
On June 14th, 1970, more reassuring news came in the form of a relayed radio broadcast
from Melchor. It was an on-the-spot communiqu from the surface of Galdonia relayed
by an advance Koldasian outpost. On top of that came the news that Wy-Ora had been
injured in the battle. An unfamiliar voice (not previously heard by Edwin's "Q" group)
started the recording by saying, "The transmission you are about to hear is a stratarecording which has been made on the planet Galdonia. I have asked the Commander
who is receiving this on Melchor to transmit this to you whenever it is possible to do so."
Then another unfamiliar voice said, "Greetings from all Koldasian and Byronnian
personnel here on the surface of Galdonia. We have good news for you! A large part of
Galdonia is now in the hands of Koldasian and Byronnian forces. Although many centres
are still occupied by Galdonians, our forces have seized vital and strategic key-points and
the main communication centres. At last the tide has turned in our favor and good progress has been made in this futile and senseless war.
72
"Communications have been re-established with home and a flow of messages is now
being exchanged. The Koldasian ground forces here on Galdonia are being reinforced by
more Astrael divisions and a battle is about to commence on and above the terrain. Threequarters of the planet has already been taken but there is still a mountainous region which
stretches across the equator. It is difficult for Corynthian craft to maneuver here and it is
tough-going for the large ground forces using land vehicles."
The speaker continued to give his impressions of the surface features of the planet. Most
of Galdonia consists of vast waste lands and burning sand where temperatures soar to
unbelievable heights during midday. Never, he said, had he experienced such scorching
conditions before as on this bleak planet. Although there were some wooded regions -- in
part, very dense -- the planet was largely desert. Their sun had plummeted below the
horizon.
"As I am making this recording," he continued, "it is dark. To my left I can see the glow
of many fires in the distance. Another town has been attacked. In the dark sky, I can see
blue-white lightning bolts striking unseen targets. These are Sun-ray weapons being fired
from Corynthians. Each time I see a bolt flashing -- and there are innumerable bursts -- I
shudder, wondering how many people are losing their lives. For there is a tremendous
disintegrating energy in one of those bursts. And Galdonia has very densely populated
cities. It is a sight I had hoped I would never witness.
"Fortunately," he continued, "the majority of Galdonian cities have surrendered and there
are only a few left still offering some resistance. Losses on both sides have been heavy.
Many of our Corynthian craft have been lost as well as other Koldasian craft which went
down in deserts. But Byronne, the gallant planet which came to our aid, has suffered the
heaviest losses on the Confederation side. I feel deeply sorry for all those who will never
leave here. How much grief and sorrow this accursed planet has brought to Koldas and
the whole of the Confederation!"
For Edwin and the "Q" members, this eyewitness report from the surface of the aggressor
planet, was of immense interest. Particularly as there had been more than a hint that their
greed and aggressiveness with its accompanying moral degradation had surreptitiously
contaminated many planets in the systems which had human life within them.
Meanwhile the communicator making the report painted a bleak picture of conditions
affecting the Confederation forces. He was speaking from a position which was dug-in in
the white sands of the vast desert. From this position, many of the sorties of the
Confederation land forces were made. At intervals, they would leave in the direction of
the remaining pockets of resistance. The stifling heat, the dragging gravitational load,
added to the torment. The rapid sunrises, immediately bursting fourth radiation which
reflected from the white sands at zenith turned the desert into an oven with a blinding
73
glare.
There was uncertainty about the two allies supporting Galdonia. A few strangely shaped
craft had been seen but so far no determined effort had been made to reinforce Galdonia
in its struggle. The Confederation kept an adequate task force in reserve in case the
Galdonian allies decided to attack. The speaker described the unfortunate crash of WyOra's personal space-craft.
"Two days ago during a raid, Commander Wy-Ora's division encountered a larger than
usual force of Galdonian craft. Our Commander's craft was repeatedly struck by rockets,
which forced him to return to base with severe damage. We watched his craft
approaching and it seemed that he was having control problems. He passed the base and
brought his craft down in the desert. But it came down with such force that there was an
explosion throwing it over on its transparent dome. Smoke poured out of vents and
hatches as they were thrown open. Damage control vehicles rushed forward in an attempt
to save the personnel and the craft. Three crew members were killed. Commander WyOra was fortunate to escape from the wreckage of the observation dome which was demolished in the violent overturn."
The communicator continued by expressing his deep concern for their popular leader who
had to be evacuated to Koldas. He had escaped with only a leg injury which at first did
not seem so serious but later was found to be much worse.
In the meantime, Valdar had taken over from his old mentor and was in charge of
operations on Galdonia. In closing his report, the speaker added a few more personal
observations. "What a forbidding world this is. It is indeed the strangest planet I have
ever set foot on, and the Galdonian way of life is very odd by our standards. Their
dwelling places are cramped, overcrowded and rectangular in shape. I have seen no
double-storied buildings at all and the building methods appear to be very crude to me.
There is an oppressive atmosphere over it all." And with these last words the message
relayed from Galdonia ended.
For the next fortnight there was no further news. Edwin and his group were hoping to
hear more of Wy-Ora's progress although it seemed that his injuries were not too serious.
Then one afternoon a brief message came through his receiver.
"I am from the moon that orbits Byronne. I have been instructed to inform you that three
days -- three of your Earth days from now, you will receive a transmission from Melchor.
Three hours after your sun has set you shall receive a transmission. I will close now, people of the planet Earth. I am a Byronnian pilot."
On July 1st, the transmission came as promised. It was a personal message from Wy-Ora
74
himself. He seemed to be his old self. He started off with his usual greeting, full of
charismatic charm. "I am Wy-Ora. Greetings, my friends. It is wonderful to contact you
all again although this time it is by means of a strata-recording. Here I am, sitting beneath
a beautiful tree in the garden of my home on Koldas. We have a large garden and there
are trees and flowering shrubs. The grass is green and the birds are singing. It is a lovely
day here and as I look out I can see a lake with a picturesque island not far out. I am
recuperating from injuries to my leg."
Judging from his voice, he seemed to be all right. It was certainly good to hear from him
again and everybody gained a deep inner satisfaction as they listened because he gave out
a great spiritual strength and compassion when he spoke.
He continued by saying that he had tried to send thoughts to each of the members of the
"Q" group telepathically. Elizabeth, Edwin's wife, confirmed that she had received some
very clear impressions. This is interesting, taking into account the difference in
space/time involved.
"During the past few cycles I have had the chance to relax and I have been thinking of
you all a great deal. I have been concentrating on 'thought-transmission' or telepathy with
each member of 'Q' Base and I have received some acknowledgments in return.
Especially you, Elizabeth. You have been uppermost in my thoughts with the birth of
your daughter. I feel certain that we' have been in communication as I was aware of your
thoughts reaching my mind. I deliberately sent a thought-pattern back to you describing
the surroundings at the time.
"Yes, so much has happened since I last contacted you. The Confederation is no longer a
Confederation of peace. The ugly word war is on everybody's lips, particularly in
Byronne, Siton and Salamia, those gallant planets which assisted us in our struggle."
Wy-Ora continued by outlining the war situation. He said that the greater part of
Galdonia was now in Confederation hands although there were still some isolated places
of resistance. He mentioned the two allies of Galdonia; Sakirad and Banianlo. (It was the
Sakiradians who had done all the fighting on Galdonia) Sakirad had already surrendered
but the problem was Banianlo. The Sakiradians are apparently a more evolved race much
like the Koldasians although shorter in stature. They are unlike the Galdonians who are
copper-colored with long dark hair hanging to their shoulders. The Sakiradians are fairskinned. They were the original civilizers of Galdonia but some time ago the Galdonians
turned on them and forced their scientists to build missiles and other destructive weapons
which were later used in this attack on Koldas. They were also forced to make the germ
weapons used against Koldas. It would take a long time to recover from the infections
and destruction, and now there were alarming food shortages. The other planets in the
Confederation were providing massive aid to help recovery. Wy-Ora felt the conflict was
nearing its end and restoration could begin.
There were no further attacks on Koldas but the whole population was glad to have the
renowned Commander Zybo with his Sitonian Sixth Division guarding them in case of
75
enemy attack. The 'Sixth' is one of the mightiest fleets ever to patrol those fields of space.
Wy-Ora spoke of his successor in glowing terms. His admiration for Valdar was obvious,
for despite the fact that Clyveen, his newly-wed wife, had been listed as missing, he
carried on as Fleet Commander in an exemplary manner. Wy-Ora said that Clyveen's
home on the northern side was struck many times by guided missiles. But officials have
already been able to trace many of the missing people. Valdar says he is sure Clyveen is
alive and well. We hope that he is right. I must close this recording for soon I must go to
the nearby city to have my leg treated. It seems almost impossible that we have fallen
victim to this cruel war."
Eighteen days later, at 10:00 p.m. on July 18th, Edwin received another relayed stratarecording from WyOra. After his characteristic introduction, he said, "My friends, it is
three hours before sunrise here. I have not had much sleep because of pain in my leg. I
am in my study and in front of me is a huge glass window looking out on the lake. It is
cool and still here now. I find it difficult to describe this scene in your language. I wish
you could witness this with me. All nature seems to be at rest. My wife and two daughters
are asleep. On my left is my strata-recorder which is built into the wall and the only
illumination inside this room is coming from the red, green and orange lights of the
instrument. As I make this recording I feel more relaxed and the pain is ebbing, making
me quite comfortable for the time being. Seated here, I have been thinking of the past....
of many things. At least things are beginning to look up again for us. Just before I started
to make this recording, I contacted the main communications centre here by means of
video-transceiver, which is also built into the wall. It has been my regular practice to keep
in touch with the fleet on Galdonia."
"When I contacted the center, I was told that Clyveen had been found! I was overjoyed
and immediately transmitted the news via the chain of satellites which were placed
between us and Galdonia. I was able to contact Valdar personally and informed him of
this wonderful news. He was so overcome he could not speak for some time. We are all
thankful that she was spared."
"Valdar said that operations were still in progress but that engagements were becoming
less frequent as time went by. He expected a surrender soon and that we would be able to
return to a peaceful existence.
Looking out this huge window, Wy-Ora went on, "I see identification lights on several
craft in the dark starlit sky. By their color I can tell that these must be a patrol from the
Sitonian Sixth Division. They are keeping a lonely vigil to safeguard us from any enemy
attack. These Sitonians are wonderful people. Kind and understanding, always ready to
render aid to anyone requiring their assistance."
"Since my return, I have had much time to rest and I have been paging through my diary.
I have kept such a record for many years, and when we patrolled your planet
76
I used to maintain a daily record of events as they occurred there on Earth a few years
ago."
Turning the pages of his diary, Wy-Ora mentioned the case of the mysterious
disappearance of a Koldasian scout-craft over the Indian Ocean off Durban. An
immediate search of the area proved to be of no avail. It was therefore decided that WyOra and an assistant would make a personal visit to the Durban area to investigate the
craft's disappearance with all its personnel.
Under cover of darkness, they were landed on a deserted beach north of Durban. Here
they were met by Earth-friends who put them up in a cottage they owned near there.
Another search was organized. From a hired motorboat Wy-Ora used special instruments
and for days they criss-crossed the area but no trace of any kind could be found of the
craft or its personnel. Finally Wy-Ora decided to extend the search to the coastal strip
bordering the area where the scout was believed to have disappeared.
They spent many days visiting hotels and boardinghouses, where they sat in lounges
mixing with visitors, hoping to pick up some scrap of information from the
conversations. Someone might have seen the craft crashing into the sea. They had to beat
a hasty retreat when a receptionist of a hotel began to get suspicious of them. The
investigation had to be abandoned and they returned to Koldas.
"With the record of this incident," said Wy-Ora, "I often think of the months that I and
others like me have spent on that wonderful planet of yours. How different it might have
been if we could come and go in peace. How wonderful it would be to come as
Koldasians; not in disguise or to hide and be shielded by others."
"Yes, that would be wonderful!"
CHAPTER 8
77
weeks later on September 17th, 1970.
Kashendo, speaking from this huge Koldasian artificial satellite said, "I bring you news
about Wy-Ora who is now on Salamia. During the past weeks the physicians have
examined his leg and decided that one of the bones, known to you as the 'tibia' (norsk :
skinnebein) will have to be replaced with an artificial one. The surgeons are sure that the
replacement will be a complete success. We do not know when this operation will take
place, but as soon as we do we will tell you. Wy-Ora is now there with his family, and
except for the leg injury, is keeping well. He asked me to send his best wishes to his
friends at all 'Q' bases."
Kashendo then reported the latest news of the Galdonian war. "It seems that the
aggressors have an inexhaustible supply of reinforcements which continually replace
their losses. Our Superiors are wondering where they are coming from and how long this
war will drag on. It seems that Galdonia planned to annihilate the Koldasian people
entirely and then tackle each of the Confederation planets in turn."
Kashendo mentioned that some time ago an unidentified craft was seen near Melchor and
that an attack on the satellite was possible as a retaliatory measure.
On September 27th, there was a direct broadcast to a dozen or so of the "Q" group
assembled at Edwin's home in Pinetown.
It was Zybo of the Sixth Patrol who said, "It has been a long time since I had the
privilege of talking to you. On board we have a very special guest. Yes, it is our esteemed
Commander Wy-Ora and he is very happy to talk to you again," and after that brief
introduction the excited 'Q" members heard Wy-Ora speak.
I am Wy-Ora. Greetings to you all! I am indeed happy to make this transmission from
close range! This Sitonian craft has been hovering at an altitude of 535km for some time
while we were waiting for you to assemble at 'Q' Base. We have ways of telling when you
are all assembled in the lounge of Edwin's home During this time I have been
concentrating my thoughts and now I see all our members seated and relaxed."
"My friends, I am glad to say that the surgery I underwent on Salamia appears to be
successful. I have been told that in about three of your earth months I shall be able to use
my damaged leg normally again. The bone which was badly crushed has been replaced.
Salamian surgeons are the most skilled in our Confederation. Most physicians and
surgeons go to the city of Scilyn for their training and it was there that the miracle was
performed on my leg. After the operation, I spent some time in one of their hospitals
78
before being transferred to a recuperation centre high in the mountains. This is a very
beautiful part of the planet and resembles Switzerland on your planet, with snow and ice
peaks. Access to the centre is only by air craft as no land vehicle could negotiate the
rugged slopes."
Wy-Ora explained that the recuperation center was on a large plateau called Barkala
which is encircled by mountains. He said, "It was winter during my stay there and the
clouded skies often blanketed the mountain peaks with snow and ice. However, there was
also plenty of sunshine, fresh air, nutritious food and recreation too which speeded
recovery. The time passed all too quickly. Now I am happy to return to Koldas, to be with
all our friends and acquaintances.
"I would like to thank you all for your kind and prayerful thoughts which I felt so
distinctly while I was in the hospital. They were of great comfort to me. When you think
or concentrate on a particular person or group of persons, you tune your mind to the
frequency of that person's brain and communication is established. This takes a great deal
of practice and I am very pleased with the progress you have made. Continue your efforts
along these lines as one day it may be a very useful method of contacting us, particularly
in case of a major emergency. We will tell you more about this later. Now my friends, I
must not delay Commander Zybo any longer for he must return to Koldas on urgent
matters. We leave you now. I have asked Melchor to keep you in-formed of the situation
in the Confederation and the war which continues. Farewell until we can meet again in
transmission. I am Wy-Ora."
But the war was soon to come to an end. On October 11th, 1970 a jubilant Melchor
passed on the message for which all the "Q" groups had been waiting.
"Peace, my friends, peace!" It was Kashendo, the jovial commander of Melchor. "At last
the Confederation is at peace! One of your Earth weeks ago, Galdonia signed a peacetreaty with Koldas. Yes, Koldas is no longer at war for Galdonia has decided to surrender.
This is indeed wonderful news, and I am happy to tell you that the war is over at last.
Walkala, the leader of Galdonia agreed to surrender provided Koldas was prepared to
withdraw all her divisions. This was agreed to and since then no more hostile moves have
been made.
"However, we have left one division of Corynthian craft there to ensure the Galdonians
remain at peace. In the meantime Byronne has withdrawn all her Astrael divisions. I feel
sure that all will be well now. Koldas has agreed to assist Galdonia with food and medical
equipment for there is chaos at the present and assistance is urgently needed. 'How
wonderful it is to know that our families and friends are safe again. We here on Melchor
constantly feared for their lives while we were serving elsewhere in the Confederation.
But now, it is time for rejoicing! I wish you could have shared the celebration here on
79
Melchor when we first heard the news! There was much singing and dancing on board.
We now know the meaning of peace.
Valdar, who had succeeded Wy-Ora, had already returned to Koldas with 375 divisions of
Corynthian craft. He was reunited with his wife Clyveen, his family and friends after an
absence of many months. Kashendo also gave the news that Wy-Ora was progressing
well and would soon resume his post as Commander of the Corynthian Fleet. Both WyOra and Valdar would soon make personal contact with 'Q' Bases on Earth again.
Then Kashendo mentioned another matter which concerned this planet. Recent
Confederation patrols under the direction of Commander Taylanz of Byronne had made
the disturbing discovery that some Earth-made satellites in orbit around our planet
contained atomic devices. Kashendo said that these devices would cause serious
destruction should they fall to Earth.
He continued, "Why does man place such dangerous devices in orbit around the world on
which they depend for their very existence? This is certainly causing us great concern.
But, my friends, do not fear for we have full confidence that we can deal with the
situation. If necessary, these satellites will be neutralized before they endanger life on
your planet. Our patrols will therefore continue in the interests of your whole population
for we are concerned about the safety of all our friends who live on Earth and also for the
millions who know nothing of the dangers lurking in your skies.
NOTE- It is interesting to note here that a number of extraterrestrial visitors to Earth have
mentioned armed satellites in orbit around our planet, placed there by factions on Earth
itself. The diminuitive beings from Reticulum called this to the attention of Bill
Herrmann in Charleston several times. The Pleiadians making contact in Switzerland also
told their contactee the same thing, and also that the Apollo 13 was carrying an atomic
device on the aborted moon-landing mission. There is a reference to this here also, and
we have found no evidence that either witness ever heard of the other. They both
expressed grave concern about the excessive, and possibly irreversible pollution of our
upper atmosphere and its dangers. They all seem to deplore the excessive proliferation of
atomic sciences of all kinds saying that the dangers are irreversible.
"What I am about to tell you now, you will find very hard to believe! But a few of your
Earth months ago a space vehicle was launched from Earth to your Moon. It carried an
atomic warhead which was capable of destroying many square miles of the Moon's
surface. A Byronnian Astrael-craft tracked its flight-path from your planet and neutralised
it while in orbit around the Moon before it could make its final approach and dive to the
80
target surface.
"Why do people of your planet indulge in these careless experiments? Do they not realise
that they are endangering their own safety? What about the repercussions throughout
your solar system? Men of Earth still have so much to learn about their own environment,
the very planet upon which they dwell... and when they travel in space, instead of
carefully exploring what they find, they have to test their destructive ability instead !"
Kashendo said that now the war was over, there was more time for the Confederation to
concern itself with Earth. One matter that alarmed them was the increasing impurity of
our atmosphere. He hinted that more craft would be seen in our skies as measurements
were made at various levels around our planet.
"We are alarmed at the quantity of impurities which our patrol craft have found in the
upper layers of your atmosphere. These particles are forming a blanket which will
eventually engulf your entire planet. We have decided to test at lower altitudes within
your atmosphere.
"My friends, you may be asking why does the Confederation concern itself with Earth
who is not even a member of the group? There are many like you whom we are
concerned about. We feel it is our sacred duty to safeguard you against dangers which
you seem to know very little about.
"We hope that one day we will be allowed to fly our craft freely in your skies, over your
breathtaking seas and across your mighty continents. Then we will be welcomed on equal
terms as friendly neighbors. But now, my friends, I must end this transmission. This is
Kashendo of Melchor saying farewell for the present."
*****
In the immediate post-war months there were regular radio transmissions to Edwin's "Q"
Group, and a variety of subjects were discussed, including religion, telepathy and
reincarnation. It was Taylanz who mentioned that they found the existence of the many
religions on Earth very surprising and Kashendo spoke about the various races here.
(Remember that what is discussed here is only a few hours transcribed from hundreds of
hours of direct radio transmissions to the "Q" Group at Pinetown. It is difficult to select
what may be of the greater interest to the most people. The selection has had to be ours.)
Taylanz said, "It seems strange that you should have so many religions. Although they are
differently named they all praise the Almighty One and their main object seems to be the
same. So it does not matter which religion you belong to -- as long as you believe in and
81
acknowledge the Divine One -- you are doing the right thing. In the Confederation we
have only one religion. We all believe that there is an Almighty One although the planets
differ in their methods of worship. On my planet Byronne, we sing our praises out loud,
yet on Koldas they meditate and worship in silence. Other planets vary again in their
attitude to prayer. On Grandor, they kneel and pray in their worship of the Divinity.
Although outward forms of worship may differ, we all believe in the same Divine One."
Kashendo spoke about the various races we have on Earth and said, "This is an intriguing
subject but some of the mystery is known to the Confederation. We know that long before
we first visited your planet, there were other visitors. When our ancient pioneers arrived
there, they found evidence that whoever came before them must have come from systems
far beyond those known to us. It is possible that they wished to colonize Earth. We do not
know for certain whether this explains the many different races, but we do know that the
race which you call the Red Indian, had ancestors who came from a far away planet
doomed to destruction. They were highly civilized and had mastered space-travel. They
left their home planet in a giant craft to search for new planets to colonize and reached
Earth and there they settled. It seems that they were abandoned by their people or were
unable to return home, possibly for lack of fuel. Their craft was stranded and so they
remained on Earth. They were forced to improvise and learn to live off the land. They
made use of what they had and what they could find. They hunted the animals; and
learned to use them for food and sustenance."
"We know about these people, for they were very intelligent as a race, and one of the
early ones to occupy Earth. But what about the many other races you have? We can only
assume that they too were space travellers for we have definitely found the remains of
many craft beneath your desert sands. Gigantic craft which are not from the
Confederation! Should these remains be discovered, they would cause a sensation on
Earth as they are of enormous proportions. They must have carried thousands of people.
"It is possible," he suggested, "that they never intended to return to their homes. Were
they banished and perhaps sent away as punishment? We can only guess at the reason for
their presence but the evidence of their arrival from other planets is there, beneath the
sands. This may be one reason why there are so many different races on Earth. Some of
them are very aggressive and very primitive even in this day and age. I wonder if they
were banished from their home planets on account of their aggressive behavior? And is
this the cause of the aggression which is still evident today?"
"When the Confederation carried out patrols beneath the surface of your oceans, they
discovered many craft buried in the mud of the ocean floors. There is much evidence
which will not be found soon, and much that has been lost. In another transmission I must
tell you about the abandoned cities which lie beneath your Pacific Ocean; mysterious
cities which must have been of great beauty before they disappeared. What catastrophe
82
befell Earth? Who were the builders of these matchless cities?"
But the next time Kashendo spoke to "Q" Base, it was on more mundane matters and not
on the mysteries of the cities beneath the seas. He said, "We returned from our rest period
one Earth day ago. Linda, whom you know is my Australian wife, has just returned with
the children from a visit to her parents on Earth. What interesting things they brought
back with them. We all had a wonderful time examining these and listening to the stories
of the children and my beloved wife. They brought back photographs of the places they
visited in Australia and around her home. They brought back happy memories of the
places I visited during my period on Earth. But what I love best is the music. The songs
and orchestral items which they brought with them. They had a strata-recorder on which
they were able to record many of your popular musical items. Oh my... you do have some
strange music! But some are very nice. There is one particular melody I like. It is called
'Amazing Grace'. During this transmission I shall play it to you, and in the future we may
use it as a signature tune to indicate that we are about to transmit to you. All of us like it
very much. Yes, I spent many hours listening to the programs they had recorded from the
television stations. It was very interesting but some we found very strange! But all in all
it brought much entertainment and laughter to us."
NOTE- We also and other extraterrestrial visitors before these have speculated on the
variety of human race here on Earth. The visitors seem to be in general agreement
however, that all human races on Earth came here from elsewhere, and a great variety of
elsewheres, and that the evidence of their arrival and the remains of the ships of those
stranded for one reason or another, may be found beneath our deserts and under our seas.
The variety of races alone, they say, is testimony for the existence of human life
elsewhere in the universe.
Kashendo also mentioned two pet rabbits which were given to the children by their
grandparents while in Australia, and they caused quite a stir because the children let them
out of the box while still in the Astrael-craft on the way back to Koldas. Their hilarious
antics had the crew in stitches while they hopped all over the instrument panels in the
control centre. On arrival in Koldas, they were carefully screened and isolated for a time
to check for diseases and then returned to the children. These are the first rabbits on this
planet and Kashendo did not mention whether the two were a pair. We have visions of
Australian rabbits overruning Koldas!
"Now as I promised", said Kashendo, "I shall tell you what we know of your past
incarnations in our own Confederation. (*We have noted that in a great many extended
UFO contact cases, the contactee is eventually identified as one of the contact group from
earlier time, now incarnated in an Earth body, and being awakened to his true identity and
the reason for contacting him instead of another. It is a difficult point because the western
mind does not accept reincarnation as a potential reality.)
83
It is a vast subject and there is much to tell. Let me begin by saying that the master
register is stored in a gigantic memory bank on the mother planet of Grandor. Here are
the records of all beings who have lived lives in the Confederation."
Kashendo explained that the giant computer is housed in 37 buildings which are arranged
in a circle around a central building. Most of the staff work in the central building which
collects the required data from "memory cells", consisting of thousands of transparent
tubes with crystals inside them. Each tube is capable of storing many thousands of
symbols and a memory bank consists of many thousands of these transparent tubes. The
data is stored indefinitely and when needed the controllers extract it in coded form which
is then decoded to provide the required information. All the equipment is very complex
and kept in a special atmosphere.
NOTE- Here for the first time Edwin and other members of the group around him are
given some of their own past life history in the Confederation before incarnating in Earth
bodies. This is a difficult aspect of this phenomenon to explain because it comes up in
groups all over the world that are not in contact with each other and often never heard of
the others. In most cases those involved have not even accepted reincarnation as a theory
until this point, but they get answers that then changes their whole belief system, and
triggers memory keys that they can identify with awakening them to a new reality.
The memory cells store inumerable personal features and characteristics which reappear
in the same individual through many lives. When a search is made, a special computer
transmits the details of the required person to the whole range of memory cells. As soon
as the features are recognized by a memory bank a message is transmitted back to the
central control building where it is recorded. The whole process is complicated and
Kashendo said that he found it difficult to describe it accurately, but he hoped it explained
how the Grandorians are able to trace people's lives through time, at least within the
Confederation.
"Here I have the details on your wife Elizabeth," continued Kashendo as he addressed
himself now to Edwin.
"She first appeared in the Confederation over 700 years ago on Koldas as the wife of a
Confederation official called Rynol. This Officer made journeys into deep space and
visited Earth a number of times. On two of these trips to earth she accompanied him.
During those days things were different and there was much to explore. On the last
journey, she spent many years with her husband at a base in Australia from which the
planet was patrolled. She became well known throughout the Confederation for her work
84
on the preservation of food for storage in Star-ships. After that it was possible to carry
more and greater variety of fresh food on a long journey."
"Elizabeth then reappeared on Byronne where she was the wife of a communications
technician called Biaca. This was an uneventful and happy life. Biaca never travelled in
deep space a great deal although he was responsible for the design of new long-distance
communication equipment. Some of his special techniques are still used today. After this
life, Elizabeth appeared on Koldas married to an interplanetary Officer named Thermatta.
Thermatta was a Commander of the Seventh Starship division at the time. Her name in
that life was Astraelda. It was he who designed the first Astrael-craft, which was named
after her. They lived happily for many years, and that is all we have at this time.
"Edwin, you were a Koldasian Commander! Your first appearance was on Koldas, as a
commander of the Second Starship Division. (The Starships were the forrunners of the
Astrael-craft) On your journeys you visited many remote places but you were based on
Koldas. You made journeys to the solar system you are presently living in at this time.
These are just a few of the basic facts. Many incidents are recorded in the memory cells
of Gran-dor on your lives in the Confederation and in Officer positions, but it would take
too much time to describe them. We shall speak of these matters again. A great deal is
missing as we can only give you details on the lives spent in the Confederation."
Before closing the radio transmission, Kashendo urged all members of "Q" Base to
practice telepathic communication which he called "thought transmission". He said, "One
day it may be a matter of life and death. Eventually you will reach the stage where you
will be able to communicate without the need of radio, and you will be able to hear our
voices within yourselves, just as you are hearing my voice today by radio."
CHAPTER 9
85
the craft closest to Earth where Taylanz was in Command. As each craft joined the
communication chain the commanders added their share to the Christmas broadcast.
Taylanz began by saying, Q Base. Greetings Edwin, and all your members. This
Byronnian Astrael craft is at present about 600 km above your position. We have much
pleasure in making this initial contact with you, for this is a special radio transmission. In
a few minutes I will connect you to Melchor. They will connect you to a Salamian Astrael
craft and then a few other craft will forge the links to a Sitonian craft which will be in
contact with Koldas. >From there you will hear Wy-Ora himself.11 An extensive relay
system was lined up. Taylanz continued speaking for a few minutes sending his and his
ship s greetings to Edwin and his group.
I have just received a signal from Melchor, and said, 11This means that they are ready to
transmit. So for the present, farewell until the end of this transmission.
Melchor came through loud and clear.11This is Kashendo of Melchor, calling Edwin and
all our friends at Q base. Greetings from all of us on this station. I have just returned
from that distant solar system of Pyrole where I met Valdar. He asked me to pass on his
best wishes for your Christmas and New Year season. He has still a large task ahead of
him on that planet.
Kashendo continued to speak for a few minutes but mentioned that he was watching the
clock closely as precise timing was the essence of relayed transmissions. He gave his
personal greetings to Q- Base and said how he had enjoyed making radio transmissions to
them during the past year. The next commander was a Salamian named Shannondoan,
who had contacted 'Q1' Base earlier that month for the first time. Shannondoan had
then said that he was born in the Confederation, of parents who had come from
Switzerland. Although they were German speaking and had taught him German, he also
managed to get by in English.
Shannodoan speak again! Greetings from my companions and myself from this
Salamian Astrael-craft. We were overjoyed when told that we could take part in this
Special Broadcast.1' He spoke with a pronounced German accent and continued, "So it is
Christmas on Earth! It is also Christmas for us in the village of Chekeda or Salamia and
we celebrate it as you do. There will be much merry-making in Chekeda. The bells will
ring... and there will be dancing in our village streets. Gay costumes will be worn by all.
All the Swiss traditions will be practiced as they are in Switzerland."
"I think I told you in my last transmission that I have two sisters. One of my sisters is a
wonderful ringer. She recently spent two years on your planet. She went to many places
for she was one of the singers of the Gunther Kallman Choir. When she returned to
Salamia she became very popular with all the people in our village for she sang many
times for them. I asked for permission to play one of those songs for you and was told by
my Superiors that I could do this... So my friends. here is my sister... ' And the song came
86
over the radio.
At the end of the musical interlude, Shannondoar continued, "That was my sister. And
that reminds me, be-for I left on this journey, I was asked to send kisses to Edwin and all
our friends on Earth. I would also like to send Christmas greetings from the people of
Chekeda and all the people of Salamia and a happy New Year! Now I must connect you
with Commander Zybo of the Sitoniar Division, for he is next in line. I hope that you will
receive this transmission with clarity. So from Chekeda and all of us here, farewell..."
"This is Zybo calling Edwin of "Q" Base! Greetings my friends. We were overjoyed to
hear we would be part of this Special transmission.
Zybo had just arrived in time at the relay position. He spoke briefly about their new
planet Siton and how different it was from Mars, their old home planet in our solar
system. He ended his brief comments by saying, "My friends, I must now connect you to
Koldas where Commander Wy-Ora is waiting to address you. Accept Christmas greetings
from all the people of Siton, my personnel and myself. This is Zybo ending transmission
and going to relay..."
For a moment all was silent. The radio messages had followed each other without hitch
and all had come through clearly without interference or fading. Edwin and those who
were present on this occasion, found it hard to believe that the speakers spoke from everincreasing distances. The last communication bridged to faraway Koldas and everyone's
attention was focused on the silent loudspeaker, waiting...
Suddenly, they heard the deep resonant voice touched with compassion, speaking more
slowly than usual. "I am Wy-Ora. It is wonderful to be able to speak to you personally,
my friends of Earth. I am talking to you from the main Communication Centre on Koldas
and it happens to be a lovely evening here. The stars are shining and as I look up from the
top of this building I can see rows of Astrael-craft lined up. Their identification lights are
on, indicating the planets they come from. (Great fleets of spacecraft returned from the
costly war filled the spaceport facilities throughout the planet) All of these lights remind
me of Christmas time on your planet... the birth of Christ. It fills me with joy and
wonderment whenever I tell this story to my children here on Koldas. As you know, we
celebrate our various Christmasses within the Confederation at different times but the
meaning is the same. We all sing our praises and rejoice to the Divine One who governs
all the solar systems throughout the heavens which one can see on a star-filled night like
this."
"My dear Edwin, and all members of 'Q' Base," continued Wy-Ora in a different vein,
"You all know that Valdar is now Commander of the Fleet. I hope you will all give him
your support. I know Valdar as a wonderful person, very capable, and I feel sure that he
87
will make an excellent leader. I therefore should like to ask you and all your members, to
put your trust in him as you did in me. Edwin, you have personally known Valdar as a
friend, for he spent his training period on Earth with you. Valdar tells me that he has the
highest regard for you. You may find there may be some changes.. .changes for the better.
He will soon contact you personally and inform you of the changes that are to be made.
But do not worry, my friend, all will be for the best and for the members of 'Q' Base."
Wy-Ora thanked everyone for the assistance, cooperation and devotion he had received
from them during his period of leadership.
He said, "Although I have retired, there is still much work for me to do. I shall never
forget my friends on Earth and the wonderful times we had making these transmissions to
you. These are still clear in my mind."
The warmth and intimacy Wy-Ora felt for his listeners came across in his voice. "As I
gaze through the giant windows of this communication centre and look out across
Koldas, I can see many thousands of lights. This is Koldas. I would like to think that this
is your home too. I am sitting here with thousands of other personnel who work in this
building. Think of us as your family. Do not think of us as aliens from a distant planet.
We are like you, and we would like you to think of us as being among your closest
friends."
Wy-Ora said that while he was speaking, he saw a division of Salamian craft rising
vertically from the Astro-port before him, forming a "V" formation and rapidly
disappearing in the distance.
"And now I should like to thank all the commanders who have now just participated in
this broadcast to your planet. Without them, this transmission would not have been
possible. Let me end this memorable occasion with greetings of goodwill from all of our
people of Koldas. Farewell, may the Divine One bless you, go before you and guide you
all. I am Wy-Ora!"
As his last words died away there was once more a break in the transmission. Then
briefly Taylanz, in the craft closest to "Q" base, ended the long-distance relay with the
words, "We listened to all the messages which were relayed through our equipment. We
hope that you have received them clearly. It has brought us much pleasure to do this for
Earth which lies there below us now. Now we must end. Farewell from the personnel of
this Byronnian ship and myself.
This ended the relay transmissions to Edwin's "Q" Base for 1972. Was this a notable
'first'? Did any of the other "Q" Bases receive similar messages? We shall only know
when reports from some of the other "Q" Bases have been published.
88
The next transmission was in mid-January, 1973, on the standard pattern, from 57s km
altitude and the craft-commander was Valdar himself. He was in the best of spirits and
started his radio transmission with a cheerful voice.
"Greetings to you all. This is Valdar who hails you. It has been a long time since I have
been in contact with you. My dear friend Edwin, Elizabeth and all you 'Q' Base members,
it is indeed a pleasure to make this direct transmission again. As you know, I have been
promoted to Wy-Ora's position as Commander of the Koldasian Astrael Fleet. The
magnitude of the task overwhelms me. I was more carefree and happier in my ways when
I was just a simple commander in the Corynthian Fleet. But this is progress. One should
be able to assume responsibility when the opportunity comes."
Valdar then said that his new appointment took him to many new places where he met
many people and he was a little overawed by the task ahead. He described his new craft.
Not only was it very large, but its speed and translocating* capability were most
impressive even by his standards.( *Translocations This term is used to describe a form
of displacement in space that can't quite be called travel. It is not linear motion as much
as instantaneous transmission where the ship ceases to "be" in one position and
"becomes" in another simultaneously, like simultaneous dematerialization in one place
and rematerialization in another. A similar process has been called a hy-perspace leap by
another extraterrestrial and interdimensional transmission by a third.)
"My friends of Earth", Valdar continued, "I hope that during my term of office, I will be
able to bring you guidance and satisfaction as did our esteemed Wy-Ora. I trust I can
complete the work he began. Many of his wishes and plans did not materialize due to circumstances beyond his control. But the war has taught us many things. We had grown
accustomed to peace; we took it for granted; it became a way of life. No one knew
anything different. But then came war! We Koldasians have not known war for
generations. Now we appreciate peace. We have seen the destruction war brings.
You on Earth know violence, you live with violence. The Superiors of the Confederation
now understand the problems of Earth more clearly. I hope that this forthcoming year will
bring the Confederation and Earth closer. It was unfortunate that Wy-Ora's term of
service came during such a difficult time."
89
Speaking of past events. Valdar said that in 1940s the Confederation had made an all-out
effort to communicate with the ordinary people of Earth. New methods were tried such as
thought transmissions as well as radio broadcasts such as Edwin was receiving. The
purpose was to persuade the people to the Confederation way of life. Salamia tried to
settle a colony from Earth. Many people were taken there by spacecraft but after only one
year more than half of them had to be returned. It seemed that they could not adapt
sufficiently as life on Salamia was totally different.
This was a great blow to the Confederation. Great results had been expected from the first
large scale evacuation from Earth.
Valdar then told of the loss of a Salamian ship's commander named Sharon. This, he said,
occurred near the city of Durban on the South African Coast. To this day his
disappearance is cloaked in mystery. Unfortunately, Wy-Ora was blamed for his death.
According to Valdar, Wy-Ora arranged several thought transmissions between Sharon and
the people of Earth. He felt that Wy-Ora was not personally responsible for the tragedy
which befell this Salamian.
There was another Salamian, Trena, who communicated telepathically, which few people
could attain. She communicated with various people who were receptive on Earth and
then something went wrong; she was misled, said Valdar. "Why must there be this
90
unrest?", asked Valdar. "Why can't people accept us as we really are? Trena did a lot of
good and made many friends. I know, for I have examined accounts of her thought
communications with Earth. She was also involved with Sharon. She was shocked when
she learned of his death. What Sharon meant to her we really do not know, for she would
never say. These are just some of the problems the Confederation had. We have really
tried to contact you on Earth!"
With a hint of disappointment in his voice, Valdar said that Salamia had decided to
withdraw her bases from Earth.
"Edwin," he said. "the base in Zululand -- as you knew it -- has also been withdrawn.
That particular base which I assisted in establishing is no more. All personnel have left.
What a loss! To think that it is no longer worthwhile having bases on Earth. But I do not
feel that way."
Continuing with emphasis, he said, "Even if I have to come back to Earth, bases must
continue in the name of the Confederation. I ask you, my friends, please strengthen your
groups. Show the Confederation that these bases are worthwhile. Do not allow this
wonderful movement which has taken so many years to establish, to fail. I will make
every effort! I will find a way to strengthen them. This must be done. I feel all is not lost.
So bear with me, help me with this task... unite your groups, gather members! Koldas
does not feel the way Salamia does. We still see the need for Koldasian bases on your
planet."
Then speaking to Edwin personally, Valdar said, "I know that you need spares urgently
for your receiver. But now that the base in Zululand is closed, it makes things more
difficult. It was very easy for our craft to leave anything you needed there to be conveyed
to your 'Q' Base. But do not worry... we will find some other way."
He ended the transmission on a personal note asking Edwin and his wife Elizabeth how
their two children were getting on, and how he often thought of the time spent with them
while on Earth.* (*Time with them- Here is a clear indication that more of the more
personal contacts were also still taking place but they were of a very private nature and
did not include any other members of the "Q" Group. This study is based on the
transmissions as they exist today.)
He also mentioned that he had given Kashendo instructions to continue to relay transmissions destined for "Q" Base from craft at distant locations.
Then suddenly, an alarm sounded.
91
"There, once again the alarm goes... which means that I must end this transmission.
Members of 'Q' Base, remember my words. Unite and become strong. This is what the
Confederation needs. And now accept greetings from all 87 of the personnel of this ship
and my best wishes for the New Year." Valdar concluded the transmission with the words:
"laga siaka kiendo" which he said means, "God be with you"
The remainder of the year 1973 passed uneventfully, with radio transmissions arriving
once a month, usually on Sunday mornings. Kashendo played a prominent part in these
broadcasts, but there was now a noticeable decrease in personal contacts with Valdar. On
one of the rare occasions that he did make contact with "Q" base, he said that he had
succeeded in persuading his Superiors to restore the base in Zululand. In due course
Edwin received the much needed parts for his radio receiver.
*****
How did the members of "Q" Base respond to the radio transmissions and to Valdar's
renewed exhortation to unite and to strengthen the group? By and large Edwin was disappointed. From the beginning "Q" Group members had come and gone. Most of them,
lacking the knowledge of radio communication, believed that the broadcasts were faked
by Edwin and a group of conspirators. When some were given more objective proof,
petty jealousies resulted among the members. On several occasions Edwin was reported
to the authorities as being in possession of an unlicensed "transmitter". Instead of gaining
new members, several older members were anxious to keep the group's activities secret.
Someone even asked the Confederation for financial assistance to purchase a property to
form a new "Q" group.
It was during this period that I became personally involved with the affairs of Edwin's
"Q" Base. Since 1968 one of the "Q" Base members had allowed me to listen to all the
tape-recordings of the transmissions from the Confederation as well as to read the
transcripts of the earlier broadcasts. Yet my request to meet Edwin and to join "Q" Base
was always turned down on some pretext or another.
I tried to find out as much as I could about these contactee cases. Although I had heard
much criticism of the Confederation tapes, I was determined to meet the man about
whom this amazing story revolved. This happened quite unexpectedly when I met Edwin
at the funeral of one of the "Q" Base members. Edwin later asked me to join him.
92
The next radio transmission on September 29th, 1974 was the first one I attended
personally and it was an unforgettable event. I recognized Valdar's voice immediately
although he spoke in subdued tones and not in his usual cheerful manner.
After the usual greetings to "Q" Base, he began with the shattering statement, "I regret
that this is the final transmission from us and from this ship. My dear friends, I still
cannot realize and accept the fact that I shall no longer be in your solar system to make
these transmissions. I have dreaded the coming of this day... and now it has come. I must
do what has to be done."
We all looked at each other, Edwin and Elizabeth sat as if thunderstruck, wide-eyed. Was
this to end; after all these years? There were only two other "Q" group members present,
which was a pity because Valdar said much that morning which might have enlightened
them. *(*Said much- Most of this communication will not be released outside of the "Q"
Groups at this time.)
Valdar continued,"I have spent many enjoyable hours with you, when we have laughed
while we communicated. But now as I am speaking to the many bases to make this final
transmission, I find that the burden gets heavier as the journey proceeds. My friends, the
Superiors of the Confederation have decided that another committee is to replace our
esteemed Wy-Ora's committee which was formed nine Earth years ago. You see, we..
.yes, even we have made mistakes. It seems that we have made too many and this is the
price we must pay, for we have now been instructed to withdraw from your solar system
and from your Universe (read Dimension)! We must now return to the Second Universe
(another dimension) whence we came and there we shall remain."
Addressing himself to members of "Q" Base, Valdar said, "Many of you at this base may
not know about the committee of which I spoke. Let me explain... In 1960s Wy-Ora
formed a committee comprised of Superiors and Leaders from many planets of the
Confederation. Some of those leaders you know were Taylanz, Dayton, Zybo and others.
This committee would try to establish contact again with Earth. This has been done many
times in the past and this committee was only one of many. For many hundreds of Earth
years many individuals, leaders from Planets in the Confederation, have been trying to
make satisfactory contact with Earth people. Wy-Ora decided to send missionaries, and I,
Valdar, was one of those he sent to establish bases or groups all over your planet. These
groups were to attract members and through the radio transmissions he planned to
enlighten the people on your planet and bring understanding about our Confederation. All
this took many years to accomplish, but eventually, hundreds of bases with thousands of
members were established all over your world. But, as has happened before, the truth was
misunderstood and the message about our way of life rejected. Not all bases are guilty of
93
this, some are true to the Confederation until this day."
"Coming to more recent times," Valdar continued, "for I cannot explain all the misfortune
that befell our committee over the past years -- it would take too long, my friends -- we
confided in various government authorities. To our great disappointment we were misled.
Wy-Ora particularly was misled. Many of the confidential matters that were discussed
were divulged. Promises made were broken. Some of your scientists were taken by us on
space tours. Yes, they learned much on these trips, but on their return, they turned their
backs on the Confederation, and used the knowledge they had gained for the pursuit of
their own selfish interests.
"My friends, we trusted the people of Earth! We confided in many but we overlooked one
vital point. I am as much to.blame as Wy-Ora in this. It is that we do not really exist (in
Earth dimension). No, my dear friends, we do not really exist (for you)! For, you see, we
are in different time (frequency)! Many thousands of years ago, we discovered that our
Starships were capable of changing in time while going to other Universes (Dimensions).
It is now clear to us that this is not the right time, for we are too soon in your time. Earth
is not yet ready for us.
"Our committee' s results were recently judged by your behavior. Our progress was
investigated and it now seems that Wy-Ora's methods were incorrect. I, Valdar, Taylanz
and many others who assisted him were also at fault. At times we considered a particular
train of thought correct for your planet. But it now seems wrong. It did not mesh with the
times on your Earth and that is why we have been recalled.
"Here before me," Valdar continued, "lies an outline of the work that was still to be done
in your future. It hurts me to think that this will never be done by us. We have not only
considered you as friends but as brothers and sisters. You have become part of our lives.
We have shared happiness and sorrow with you, and you have done likewise with us.
"For you see, our committee has now collapsed. Wy-Ora is no longer with us. Wy-Ora
has passed to a higher dimension! And we must now return to our own Universe
(Dimension)."
Valdar spoke slowly, pausing between sentences. He said that his late Superior had the
ability to impersonate well. "He had many faces; he had many personalities. He walked
with you, talking with you, you met him many times!"
He said that Wy-Ora had visited our planet many times and that he had worn many faces
in his lifetime. His wish was to try and bring peace. Anticipating that these words would
94
mystify most of the "Q" Base members, Valdar continued, "Do not try to understand this,
my friends of 'Q' Base. Accept what I say. We all have a mission in this life and in the life
hereafter, as determined by the Divine One. When Wy-Ora departed there was much
grief, although I know that he goes before us. They are the pace-makers, they clear the
way for us, those of the higher dimensions. This thought comforts me. The great pain is
that the work he had set aside for me and many others is to remain uncompleted. These
plans in their folders shall all be returned to Koldas. One day... who knows, a commander
may read these files and recognize the value and continue the work that has been left
uncompleted this day. A new committee is to be formed which will not be from our
Confederation, for they have now resigned this mission
This was a shattering message! Disappointment was written all over our faces. Edwin and
Elizabeth had so many personal experiences with Valdar and others that this must have
been like losing a member of the family.
The thoughts that were uppermost to me were that these people, wherever they came
from -- whether another Universe or a future era -- had tried their best to reach our hearts
and minds. And all we could do was to ask for more proof, more concrete physical
evidence. (I suspect so did all "Q" Group members everywhere.) This was the one thing
they could not give us at this stage. It is sad to think that this contributed to the collapse
of many "Q" Groups and brought about the end of the Confederation's mission to Earth.
Valdar ended by describing the new committee. "This committee is of a lower dimension
than ours. I feel that they may have a better success on Earth as they think more like you
than we do although they are also ahead of you in time. But the time lapse between you
and them is less than between you and Koldas.
"So, my brothers and sisters, I will leave you to this new committee. In no way can I
intervene. My superiors granted my final wish that I could come and explain the situation
to you. My task is almost done. I have been assigned to patrol a new area in deep space
with my division of 100 Astrael-craft. I must now leave behind all the problems of Earth;
not only the problems but the friendship, love and understanding between you and I. I
hope that the new committee will do far more than we have done. So we depart. I hope
you will not forget us. And if one day we return then surely we shall come to see you...
His parting words were to Edwin and Elizabeth.
"Oh my brother Edwin, how can I say farewell to you? We have known each other for
many years. We have talked long and spent many Earth hours together on the beaches
along your sea. You are more than a brother to me; make it easy for Valdar and do not be
sad at our parting. It is just another phase in our lives. My dear sister Elizabeth, I have
loved you both more than I would a brother and sister of my own."
95
He spoke a few words to each member in turn. To someone he had this to say, "There are
many things you have not understood. Even today, there are doubts in your mind. You
blame much on Edwin! Do not blame him. Blame the Confederation."
I was the last to join the group so he ended with me.. "My dear friend Carl, how I regret
that we did not know each other longer... such a pity. I am sure that you have learned
much from the little you have heard."
Then he ended, "From your 'Q' Base, Edwin, many have come gone. Many have scorned
your group. There are those you are not even aware of who knew of your Base They are
anonymous and wish to remain so. It has been ar effective and profitable base, if not
altogether peaceful! Those of you who stayed, you have had the patience( to accept and
some have understood and passed on the information from Wy-Ora to all those who are
willing to listen.
"Now, my friends of planet Earth, I must say a final farewell. I do sincerely hope that we
will be given yet another chance to rectify the mistakes we have made during our stay
over your planet. There are many things we have learned. There are many things that we
would change. But the other committee must now take the lead. They will profit by our
mistakes. This work must continue until there is peace over the fields, mountains and
oceans of your truely beautiful planet. Earth is a jewel in the depths of space...
"The Superiors and all the commanders thank you for all you have done. Kialda Katuang
Kisiska lanando... I hope we have yet another chance.
1'Farewell."
NOTE- Remember that this is not by any means all of the information available in this
case. This is only what has been agreed can be revealed through the communications
themselves. There is much more to this case and a great deal that is of a personal nature
and will not be revealed at all.
96
CHAPTER 10
A New Venture
Valdar's farewell message and the closing down of the "Q" Base disappointed me. For
many years I knew of it from afar and then, when Edwin invited me to join it, all came to
an end. As I had many questions, I simply had to see Edwin again. Now that I knew
where he lived I looked him up a few days after Valdar's final transmission to the group.
Edwin did not seem to be very concerned about the exit of the Confederation and said,
"After all these years, I'm sure they will not leave us high and dry."
Looking back, I now think he may have had some inside information. Wy-Ora' s venture
had proved to be unsuccessful and so an end had to be made. Edwin's "Q" Group had just
about ground to a halt with only two of the members being present for the farewell
message. The other members had faded out of the picture.
I was fascinated to hear Edwin's story first hand; his initial encounter with Valdar and
later meeting Wy-Ora face-to-face. He took me on a tour of the various places he went
fishing with Valdar, the seaside cottage where Wy-Ora had spent many months during his
training period on Earth and many other places. Later, I saw the site of the hotel in
Durban where Valdar had stayed. The building had been demolished to make room for
motorcar showrooms.
Edwin let me examine the radio receiver which Valdar gave him in 1962. I looked at the
antenna on the end of the roof and the feedline going down into the lounge and the
receiver.
The unit was housed in a domestic wooden cabinet of a type popular in the early sixties.
Then I noticed something odd! Edwin had explained that the transmissions were
"beamed" from spacecraft above to his antenna and receiver, but I am sure that most "Q"
Base members had not appreciated the uniqueness of the communication. I am a radio
amateur with a technical education and noticed that the antenna was connected in a very
unusual way. Electrically speaking, the antenna was not connected to the "front" end as is
normally the case, but to the "rear" end -- to the power supply! Now I understand at least
97
why no-one else could intercept these radio transmissions. To my mind, Edwin did have
what he had been saying all along, communications with men from outer space!
I asked Edwin about the strange "ping" sounds which occurred at intervals during all
transmissions from the Confederation. I had wondered about these for years. He
explained that they used a "strata-recorder" in place of a tape-recorder which recorded on
crystals instead of tape. The "ping" sound occurred as one crystal changed to the next
crystal.
I was delighted with everything I learned from Edwin and I asked him to let me know as
soon as he heard any further news which he suggested might be soon. I was a bit
surprised to get a telephone call from him only a fortnight later. He said he had received a
message on his radio that something was in the wind. He then asked me to come to his
home two days later and to be sure to arrive before seven o'clock.
I wondered what the "new'1 committee was up to when I drove my car to Edwin's home
on the appointed evening. It was on the stroke of seven and Edwin was waiting for me to
arrive.
As I entered the lounge, Edwin's radio set was already on. A low purr came from the
loudspeaker. Elizabeth, who had put the two children to bed early, sat in an armchair with
some needle-work. Edwin and I chatted, standing near the radio as we waited for something to happen. Then, at twenty minutes past seven the speaker suddenly came to life
with a surprisingly loud sound. Starting on a high note, it changed to a deeper tone
levelling out.
"Venoy... Venoy... Standby for transmission. Venoy, Edwin, stand by..."
There was a short pause and then another voice...
"This is Valdar, Greetings. Greetings to the three of you tonight. I am contacting you
from this Corynthian craft at an altitude of 500 km. My friends, it is wonderful to be
here once again. We are here for a special reason for this is the beginning of a new phase,
a new venture. It is the beginning of a new experiment for my friend Edwin. Very shortly,
I shall transmit a coded message to you in the manner of the Confederation. You have
heard this message before, transmitted to you by thought. It was impressed on your mind
for a particular occasion and the occasion arises on this Earth-night of yours.
As soon as the radio transmission began Edwin started his tape-recorder. I stood close to
the receiver and speaker although the transmission was loud and clear. I guess it was the
98
general excitement, the thrill of listening to a voice from a spacecraft and the talk of a
new phase.
"Edwin.., I must explain to you that when you hear the sound of this Code, you will enter
a sleep-like state, and until I give you the command to return, you will be entirely under
my control. I shall be able to speak through you. What I see shall be transmitted through
to you so that you will see what I see and feel what I feel at the same time. This is the
new experiment. It may not be successful.
"For many years, my dear brother Edwin, we have conditioned you for such an occasion.
As I told you during our last radio transmission, a 'new' committee was to contact you by
this method. They have tried but failed. We are pleased that you and others responded so
well to our training that only we can contact you by this method. They have also
abandoned their plans to start groups in the major cities on your planet when they realized the problems involved. They decided to hand you back to us! These are the
circumstances that brought us back earlier than we had dared to hope.
"And now Edwin, Valdar continued, "I shall transmit the Confederation sounds and this
code will unlock the instructions stored in your unconscious mind and you will enter a
state of trance. Please be seated and relax now. Be seated and relax!
Both Edwin and I were still standing near the radio receiver when Valdar spoke these
words. I was puzzled how he knew that we were standing! We both sat down in armchairs
and I watched as Edwin closed his eyes and let his head rest back on the chair.
"Stand by. Edwin... relax... listen to this. You have heard this subconsciously many times.
Listen...
Then a strange sound came from the loudspeaker which is difficult to express
phonetically. It was more like a "croaking" and lasted just over a minute. Later I learned
that these sounds are deliberately garbled to make recollection and memorizing
impossible.
The sounds are only used to "tune" Edwin's mind to the Koldasian thought-frequency.
Experimenting with these sounds landed Edwin on an "open" frequency with unpleasant
consequences, as described later.
Edwin reacted immediately and appeared to be in a relaxed sleep. After a short interval
Valdar continued saying through the loudspeaker, "Edwin is now in a state of trance, he is
quite safe and comfortable. I am in control of his mental faculties."
99
Then, addressing himself to me, Valdar said, "Greetings, my friend Carl. This is when I
speak to you, and to you alone. I have chosen you for a special task which I hope you will
accept. It is to advise and assist Edwin in this new experiment. You are to record these
thought-transmissions on a tape-recorder and after editing them, send them to any person
or group who may be interested. I suggest that you re-record the Confederation sounds
which were used to condition Edwin's subconscious, on another tape. In future, these will
be played to Edwin through earphones and then be removed.
"At the end of these thought-transmissions, we will waken him. To begin with, there will
be only one such thought-communication per month, preferably during evening. This
method of communication has been very successful in the past. We hope that it will be
successful again. Questions may be put to Edwin when he is in this state of thoughtcontact and we will answer, but please remember that Edwin will take time to get
accustomed to this new method. I must warn you that some communicators may not be as
versatile in English as I am. It may be difficult for them to reply. You may get inaccurate
information, so please use your own judgement.
Valdar continued, "Yes Carl, we have plans for the future and these plans involve both
you and Edwin. And now I would like to try an experiment.
"Edwin, can you hear my voice?"
"I can hear your voice,'1 Edwin replied.
"I am going to ask you a few questions.
"Yes," said Edwin.
"What is the color of my uniform?" asked Valdar.
"Blue," replied Edwin.
"I am now pointing to something... what is it?"
"You are pointing to some kind of instrument."
"I am now going to walk to the other side of this control centre and there I shall point to
another instrument. Describe the instrument to me." said Valdar.
"The instrument is... uh, dome-shaped with colored lights in it," replied Edwin, after a
short pause.
"You have done very well, Edwin, I can see that in time you will receive my mental
100
impressions without any difficulties whatsoever."
I was amazed how this conversation between Valdar and Edwin developed. Valdar spoke
slowly over the radio and Edwin came back with his replies without any pause. I
wondered how Valdar managed to hear Edwin's replies. Perhaps he used Edwin's ears just
as he probably used his eyes to see that we were both standing earlier.
Having satisfactorily concluded his experiment with Edwin, Valdar continued, saying,
"And now Carl, I hope you understand the procedure for these thought-transmissions.
Believe me, my friend, there is much for us to do. Look after Edwin as best you can
because this is a delicate experiment. Do not allow others to overtax him with too many
questions while he is in thought-contact. There will still be direct transmissions via the
radio receiver to give you further instructions.
"And now, my friends on Planet Earth, we wish you well with this new venture... for this
may be the beginning of a new phase on Earth. For you, Carl and Edwin, and for all those
who are not bound by prejudice, may you understand what the Confederation is trying to
do. Try and lift yourself in thought to the highest level so that we can contact you and you
in turn, us. We will deliver our messages directly to anyone who is in tune with us.
Farewell my friends. This is Valdar of the Corynthian Division now ending this direct
radio transmission.
His next words were obviously directed to Edwin who was still sitting with closed eyes in
his armchair. "Ja-ka Kisiako Jakalando, Edwin... Farewell, my friends, until we meet
again in thought-communication."
The radio broadcast came to an end and Edwin opened his eyes, stretched and looked
around. When asked how he felt, he replied that he was fine although his head felt a bit
strange. Subsequently, Edwin proved to be a good transmitter and receiver of sound and
visual images. These thought-transmissions have as far as I can tell, not had any adverse
effects on him. On the contrary, he found they increased his general comprehension and
soon he was completely accustomed to them.
A few days later I responded to Valdar's invitation to participate in the new experiment
and I made a short tape which I gave to Edwin. He promised to play back my tape when
he was in radio contact with Valdar again.
Playing my tape would "transmit" my personal message to Valdar. Neither Edwin nor I
would understand the modus operandi of the tape transmission from a tape-recorder to
the Astrael-craft, but the method worked well.
101
For the previous twelve years radio was the method of communication but now we had a
new instrument--Edwin! We were both nervous about the new mode of communication
but I was excited by its novelty. For a number of years, I have operated as a radio amateur
and I soon began to look upon this thought-transmission as I did my radio. I understand
very little of the neuro-psychic process taking place in the active brains of the two
participating transmitters. The bio-electrical currents flowing through normal brains are
too small to send electromagnetic radiations far into the surrounding environment. Nevertheless, all I had to do was to "tune" my receiver, Edwin, to the Confederation frequency
and communication was possible. I realized the importance of this fine tuning much later.
Six weeks after the evening of the first new experiment, Edwin was told by radio of the
next thought-transmission. That night I carefully carried out all Valdar instructed. Edwin
was seated in his favorite armchair listening to some soft background music. As the eight
o'clock hour approached, I placed the earphones on Edwin's head and connected them to
a tape-recorder which played the Confederation sounds. Edwin closed his eyes, leaned
back in his chair and a half minute after the sounds ended, I removed the earphones.
Elizabeth and I waited expectantly, then very gently, Edwin began to speak in his normal
voice but slower than usual.
"Greetings. This is Valdar who contacts you. This is the very first time that I speak
through my friend Edwin. We are at present at an altitude of 560 km looking down on
your planet. There are storm conditions, which I am sure you are all aware of. Greetings,
Elizabeth. Greetings, Carl."
We both replied to Valdar 's greeting and bade him welcome to Edwin's home. The twoway communication seemed to be working well and Edwin looked comfortably relaxed
in his chair; he had opened his eyes and was looking at us. His hands were folded on his
lap. Was this really Valdar sitting there in front of us or was he still high up in the craft
looking down? The storm he mentioned did not really bother us nor did it interfere with
the thought-communication.
Valdar continued, "I would like to describe the view from here. It is beautiful with
towering pillars of cloud which are lit up every now and then by lightning flashes. Above
us are the clear heavens, and the stars and planets of your solar system are a sight to see!
The personnel and myself are seated here in this Astrael-craft. The interior lights are
dimmed. And I am concentrating on Edwin. This is the first time we have used thought
only so let us hope it will be a success.
"I hope that Edwin and you, Carl, will accept this new method of contact. I know that it is
strange to you for I have been able to tap your thoughts on this matter as we proceed. I
have received your message. I am pleased that you will do your part in this latest venture.
It is yet another attempt we are making. We have tried many times before, but this time
102
we are using different methods and we have chosen you, Carl, to express our views to the
people of Earth.
"Whether the people will accept them, we cannot tell at the present. In these talks I will
explain as best I can about life in the Confederation. But you must realize that we are
many years ahead of you in time. But what is time? Time is a word that has been invented
on Earth. The word 'time' does not exist in the Confederation. We do not know what time
is!"
Valdar was coming through quite well now. Edwin's voice was getting stronger. I was
watching the tape-recorder to see that a good recording was made of our very first
thought-transmission.
"I am sure, Carl, that you will be asked the question, 'Why does the Confederation bother
to talk to the inhabitants of Earth? What is the purpose of the Confederation being here
on your planet?' To answer these questions we have to go back into the ancient history of
our people. For even in those far-off days, the Confederation had Starships which could
exceed the speed of light. They discovered the magnetic fields and understood how these
could be harnessed to travel faster than light. It is these magnetic fields which are the key
to the formation of the Confederation. There is much that we can tell you about these
magnetic fields.
"These ancient cosmic pioneers explored our Universe. Then they discovered your
Universe and they wanted to explore this too, to find out whether there was life out there.
After many expeditions the planet Earth was discoverd. The beings they found there were
very primitive. They returned to report this to their Superiors. They had found life and in
the other Universe.There was much interest in this life. The Superiors of the old
Confederation decided to send more expeditions and settlers.
"Some settled on your planet, bringing their culture with them. These were the first
contacts. Our interest in your planet stems from those early days. Our ancestors came to
guide and suggest a better way of life and then returned home. But some of the settlers
remained. A great deal of assistance was given to many areas but mainly to the
inhabitants of Atlantis and after its destruction, to ancient Egypt, where many of the
Atlanteans had been resettled. There, the pyramids still stand as a monument to the
Egyptians who toiled to erect them. Yes, the Egyptians built them with the help of visitors
from the Confederation! They were used as transmitting and receiving stations and for the
storage of magno-solar energy. They were located in a strategic area and the ancient
Starships used to home-in on them.
"Their design is significant in more ways than one. In the coming changes on your planet,
this pyramidal design will again be used in your buildings."
103
This was the first time Valdar mentioned the coming changes on Earth. In later
transmissions more emphasis was given to this subject. At the time, I did not pay much
attention to it as other topics interested me more. I was reminded1 that some historians
suggest that several times mankind has made a "leap forward" that is unexplained by
simple historical revolution. It is tempting to relate the Confederation's visits to Earth
with these forward leaps. The primitive Egyptians started building in granite and
limestone in a way never equalled before or since. Valdar never said anything about the
remarkable genius Inhotep or the heretic Pharoah Akhenaten. He did say though, that the
Confederation helped the Egyptians to build the pyramids, and also stressed that relations
with Earthlings were not always peaceful!
The early Egyptians wanted to use their newly gained knowledge for warfare to conquer
the world. He said there was a confrontation and in the ensuing struggle two Grandorians
were killed. The Superiors of the Confederation then decided to withdraw all their people
from our planet.
Valdar said they were persistent visitors to this planet of ours so that a generation or so
after that unfortunate incident, they probably returned. They were always elusive and
remained in the background with advice and guidance. How many missions they sent to
Earth and their contribution, if any, to our progress will remain unknown to us.
Before this last experience had run a year there was another confrontation with Earth
leaders and the Confederation again withdrew all their personnel from our planet. This
time it was for good except to rescue those leaders who choose to leave if an occasion
should arise.
But the Confederation is not the only infiltrator on this planet. There are many other
extraterrestrial (ore extradimensional, and sometimes both) influences which are more
difficult to trace. There is at least one which the Confederation has identified to us. This
is theire arch-enemy the Outer-Worlds. Since the dawn of our history this spoiler has
been on Earth with a large and acttive following.*(*Adversary. A puzzling aspect of the
UFO contactee phenomenon is the frequency with which this adversary syndrome occurs.
It is found in a good percentage on significant UFO contactee cases where they persist
and extensive dialogue is developed. This syndrome crosses all boundaries such as race,
place and society, and my tell us something about the origin of all of our various religions
in this world. We also find an adversary her' in all of our own holy works. Is this only
coincidence)
"Your planet is a beautiful planet," Valdar continued, "it has all the ingredients one could
ask for. The vast oceans, mountain ranges, continents. There is nothing wrong with your
planet. It is those who govern and seek to lead it. We come in peace. We have tried many
times to convince these many rulers and Superiors of yours, that our methods might be
better. But they have replied that they cannot bring about any changes on your Earth. It
104
would upset the balance of things. But we are persistent! We will try to uplift and
enlighten people even if it is only a few. We are not here to conquer. (They could have
done that any time they chose) Our Astrael-craft is a symbol of peace. It brings us from
our distant Universe (dimension) through time, to this beautiful planet Earth. We have
come to share our knowledge and experience with you. But my friends, let's be honest
with each other... if we were to give you the secrets of the power of propulsion which the
Confederation has, the secrets of the astrael-craft, what would you then do with it...?
"There are countries who would use this power for aggression. In all likelihood, they
would destroy your Earth! A long time ago the Superiors of the Confederation made a
solemn pledge which is still valid today. Only when the Confederation is absolutely
certain that earth has adopted a better way of life, will the secrets we have learned
through the Divine One be given to you. All we ask is that people of your planet change
their ways, particularly their vicious aggression. Wars must cease; there must be unity
among the nations.
"Of course, we realized long ago that you have many problems. Problems which we do
not have in the Confederation. You have a multitude of races. This is strange to us.
Indeed, it is very strange, for it is the only planet we have come across which has so
many. On Koldas there is only one race. Although skin color ranges from fair in
temperate regions to dark-tan in the deserts, there is only one basic racial group, whereas
you have at least five on Earth.
"We realize that this is a very difficult problem. But this could have been overcome
harmoniously. If your rulers trusted us, this could have been solved peacefully to the
benefit of all concerned. But your leaders decided to do it their way and have rejected our
offer of help."
Valdar paused and asked if we had any questions. We asked him if he could tell us any
more about his own home-planet Koldas.
"It is many times larger than Earth. We have seas on Koldas, but these are fresh water
seas. They are more large lakes, the largest about 24,000 km long and 20,000 km wide.
Some of the towns of Koldas are in the mountain regions while others are by the sea. The
towns are similar to yours, except that buildings are constructed differently. There are no
roads here for our vehicles travel above the surface of the ground. Our buildings are
linked by conveyors to take people to their destination. Our capital city is vast, much
larger than New York. Of course there are rural areas with smaller homes for one or two
families, and there are forests and also rivers. In the large lakes there are islands where
you find holiday resorts.
105
"Our way of life is very similar to that of Earth. What I am trying to impress upon you is
that we do not differ from you. The only difference is our mental attitude. Our way of life
is different. We have no monetary system; no currency whatever. Each planet in the
Confederation produces and plays a vital part in the whole. Some are rich in minerals and
supply these to the others and some are more suitable for cultivation. Koldas, with its
seas or lakes, has an abundance of fish, harvests of which are sent to other planets in the
Confederation in exchange for minerals and materials to build the powerful Astrael-craft.
And so my friends, a chain of goodwill and understanding links all our planets. Earth too
could play a part in this Confederation even though you are in another Universe.
"This is just a brief outline and I shall not tax Edwin too much tonight for this is new to
him. Before we close this thought-transmission, are there any other questions?"
Earlier the three of us had decided to ask Valdar whether they had physical bodies as on
Earth and how they managed to cross the light-barrier.
Valdar explained, "We are like you. We are in the flesh. We feel pain and we die. The
difference is that we are able to travel at this fantastic speed. This is the only difference.
There are some things your sciencetists do not understand about space and time, particularly beyond your solar system. I find this difficult to describe in your language.
"Each solar system has a magnetic field. Once you have broken away from the
gravitational field of your planet, you can make use of the magnetic fields of other
planets and solar systems to travel vast distances and even change in time.
"On Earth you are using the wrong method of propulsion. You are using fuels, liquid or
solid or whatever they may be. This does not take advantage of the vast reservoir of
universal energy. There is an unlimited supply of this energy and power that can never be
exhausted. This energy is there for mankind to use on your planet.
"Let me explain further. The Astrael-craft I am in has eight magnetic motors. Four
forward and four revers for control. These are actually giant electro-magnets powered
with solar energy. Now beyond your planet there is a magnetic force-field which runs in
streams between planets and solar systems, and even between galaxies and universes.
Magnetic fields seem to run on forever. Once we are in a magnetic field we travel in this
invisible stream through space. Our magnetic motors allow us to check and control our
speed. Without them we could not select our destination. We would be helpless as a rudderless ship on a fast flowing river.
"Once a certain velocity is reached, things begin to happen. For a little while, breathing
become difficult and the craft is controlled by a master computer. As you arrive in other
universes (dimensions) awareness returns. Craft, computer, personnel and all which have
existed in the energy-state flowing along the magnetic paths, now re-integrate with their
polarity changed, to become solid matter again. And that my friends, is all there is to it. It
106
is the magnetic fields which carry us at these incredible speeds, an changing time is a side
effect of it. Your craft on earth could do this if you had the magnetic motors!"
I asked Valdar other questions that evening including whether he knew if a spacecraft had
teleported som friends of mine 300 km while travelling in a car from Fort Victoria,
Zimbabwe, to the South African border. I had personally investigated this case and
subsequent hypnotic regression suggested a spacecraft commanded by an extraterrestrial
who called himself Zorottus was involved.
Peter and Frances had a frightening experience and I was anxious to know if Valdar knew
anything of Commander Zorottus and such operations.* *Details of the Peter and Francis
case are reported in APPENDIX II.
"I certainly do not know Commander Zorottus," replied Valdar, "but I will devote a
transmission solely to the subject of your polar regions in the future. Edwin is responding
well. At first he was dubious and afraid, but this evening he has even met my wife
Clyveen. She is the one who can give confidence! Now my friends, I shall say farewell
for we must give Edwin a rest. I have enjoyed your company and being able to talk with
you. My sister Elizabeth, it has been a pleasure. I see you are wearing a pretty new gown.
Valdar likes you in it; it is very attractive.
"Carl, you have accepted this new experiment and have done much work. The taperecordings you have distributed have done well. I am very pleased. Farewell for the
present. This is Valdar of the Koldasian Fleet ending this thought-transmission."
We had been talking for over an hour. It was like a telephone conversation but with a
difference. Valdar could see through Edwin's eyes! He had remarked on the new gown
Elizabeth was wearing and how charming she looked. I wondered how he knew that it
was a new gown. If Valdar could see us, would Edwin have looked in at the other side of
the contact? As soon as he had returned, I asked him if he could tell us anything about his
meeting with Valdar's wife Clyveen. Elizabeth wanted to know what dress she was
wearing.
I kept the tape-recorder on to record his impress-ions of this evenings events.
"You know, the whole time I was with Valdar," said Edwin after he had collected himself,
"I could actually see the interior of the craft. I could hear the activity going on, the hum
of the magnetic motors. Every now and then there would be a click and a sound like a
typewriter dashing off a line, then stopping. There was that continual noise in the
background from all the instruments in the control panels that circled the whole ship.
Each panel had its own operator who did not seem to bother Valdar. He sat there alone at
the main control position and I could hear his voice all the time. Then towards the end he
got up and went down with the elevator in the center of the floor to below where the
107
living quarters for the personnel are."
"Did you just walk along beside him?" I asked.
"Well, I seemed to be with him," said Edwin. "There was the dining room or restaurant,
the lounge and the sleeping quarters for the personnel. When Valdar entered his private
quarters I realised that Clyveen was there. '
"Can you describe her?" I asked Edwin. "What is she like?"
"Oh, she is a very attractive woman. As Valdar arrived she appeared to be waiting for
him. Whether it was because he intended to bring in another person that was close to him,
I don't know. But she is tall --about 1.8 meters, maybe more. About the same height as
Valdar. She is not slim; a well-built figure but not plump either. A rather long neck with
long flowing corn-colored hair,and deep blue eyes and a fair skin. Her features seemed to
be slightly oriental, especially her eyes."
Edwin seemed to have enjoyed the experience, but I could not help thinking to myself, I
wonder whether this was really the first visit he had made to the interior of an Astraelcraft?
He continued, "Now, as Valdar was seated there, I was taking all this in. It seemed almost
as if he were looking at these various things to transmit what he saw to me. He looked at
Clyveen. I would say that her feet are dainty. She wore a gown which was low cut and
split at both sides. This gown was of a strange texture. It looked like a fabric with another
fabric on top and another on top of that. That's the only way I can describe it. It's like
hessian but with bigger holes, one layer on top of another. Yet it was light-weight and
with every slightest movement, the material seemed to flow."
"We were in their living quarters. I suppose it must be their private suite. There were two
bunks and between them was a control-panel jutting up from the floor. To one side of
this was a half-oval, highly polished aluminum table fixed to a narrow section of the wall.
There were no legs to this and below it was a curved seat matching the table and sliding
under it. Valdar drew this seat out as he walked in. There was no mirror, but I did see
enormous windows. Half of them were shuttered with sliding louvres. Clyveen was
sitting with her back to the louvred windows. They reached from the floor to the ceiling.
Virtually the whole area on one side was an observation window.
"In the background, through this window, you could see specks of light -- stars and
planets. They were all around you, where-ever you looked and they were not blinking,
but solid stabs of light. I became conscious of the depth. I could actually sense the 'depth'
of space with chunks of light in it. You begin to feel that you are in the centre of it. Now I
know what an astronaut experiences when he feels the depth of our vast and magnificent
Universe! We on Earth seem to think of the Uni-verse as going outwards, but Carl, out
there you feel it is all 'around' you."
108
"By the way," I said to Edwin, "Valdar said that he liked Elizabeth's new dress and I quite
agree with him, she looks lovely in it."
"Well," he replied, "that was Clyveen, she prompted him. He is a forgetful sort of chap."
"Men are all the same," added Elizabeth with a chuckle.
"But Carl, tell me how did it really go? What was it like?" asked Edwin.
"I think it was very successful. We have it all on tape and you can hear it for yourself. In
the beginning it was weak, then gradually it built up and became stronger and stronger."
"Yes, I rather felt this myself," said Edwin.
"I did not expect quite so much at first. But I must congratulate you, Edwin, I think it's
been a great success. I am surprised at the strength and duration of the contact we made.
There were many subjects Valdar touched on, and he promised more at a later date."
"Well," replied Edwin, "you know, in the beginning it worried me a lot. But now I have
more confidence; now I know it can be done."
Was this just an incredible acting feat on the part of Edwin? Or a schizophrenic fantasy?
Or a seance in a new guise?
Or was it indeed an advanced civilization trying a new experiment in contacting people
on Earth?
As I considered the possibilities, the last seemed the most likely.
CHAPTER 11
Other Universes
When Edwin was again tuned in to the Koldasian thought-frequency in the
prescribed manner and at the prearranged time (December l9th, 1974) he spoke
rapidly,
"Asa kaviendo anoy kisialda katauw viando kasau, This is Melchor, the
satellite on the perimeter of your solar system."
109
The words just rolled off his tongue. To us, it sounded just like Kashendo.
So Valdar was not there to keep his appointment with us this evening.
'Greetings, my friends, this is Kashendo of Melchor here. I 'm sorry that
Valdar can not make this transmission tonight as he is at a conference on
Grandor. He regrets that he did not advise you of this through your radio and he
has asked me to stand in for him. Valdar left a few notes with me and it is from
these that I would like to speak to you tonight."
We were surprised to bridge the distance of 6,000 million kilometers
directly to Melchor with a thought-transmission. Radio broadcasts from
Melchor needed the presence of a ship to relay and boost the signal to Edwin's
receiver. This mode of communication gave us a foretaste of the possibilities of
thought-transmissions. Kashendo then added a few thoughts on space-travel to
those Valdar had given in the previous contact.
He said that he hoped to claryfy the confusion and misunderstanding on
this subject.
He said, "As to travelling in time... our living in the future and you living in
the past, I would like to stress that we are in your future and you are in our past.
Koldas is many Earth-years ahead in evolution. If we were to go back in time
on Koldas, we would eventually reach the point where your Earth is at present.
Many people have asked the question: if we are ahead of you in time, we must
know your future. This is not so! Our planet is only more evolved. We have
used the word time for convenience, as there is no word that we know of
in your language to describe our concept of space-travel. Our craft travel
faster than the speed of light by using cosmic magnetic fields.(see pictures for
better understanding here)
110
111
"Let me tell you more about these magnetic fields. Each planet has its own
gravity and magnetic field. In space, there is hardly any gravity, only magnetic
force. Earth's magnetic forcefield is invisible, but if you could see it, it
resembles a spherical shape which is drawn out to a long narrow tail by the
solar-wind coming from your sun. There are currents in magnetic fields, which
now from a North pole to a South pole. These currents, or lines of force, now in
large loops around the planet from pole to pole, cradling the radiation belts
which protect life from the solar wind and cosmic rays.
There are also currents in the narrow tail field which stretches into space
where it joins the magnetic fields of other planets. These tail fields link together
into a magnetic web. We travel along strands of this web. Our craft are carried
by these magnetic currents. There are two opposing currents in these tail fields
separated by a stagnant neutral zone.
nb; picture up is not from the koldasbook, but fit somehow to the txt
112
"With our magnetic motors, we are able to attract our craft to the current
which will carry us to our desired destination. In the same manner, each solar
system has a magnetic field with a tail field deflected even further into space,
linking with other solar and star systems. These magnetic fields run
throughout your universe, as they do ours. The two Universes are also
connected by a magnetic field. Without this universal-solar magnetic field, we
could never have visited you in our spacecraft.
"You see," continued Kashendo, "our craft move along the outer
surface of these magnetic streams, as you would glide on ice, swept along by a
stiff breeze. At the start of a journey, we direct our craft into the slower central
region of the magnetic stream.
"To gain more speed, we move outwards until we reach the outermost
layers where we attain maximum acceleration and where we dematerialise and
travel many times faster than the speed of light.
"How this is done will not be understood on Earth. Some have suggested
that we then exist in another dimension, but this is not so; we are just ahead of
you in evolution. We do not differ from you in body. We merely have an
advanced technology which you will also evolve to on Earth in your future."
113
114
Kashendo paused for a few moments before he continued, "I have just
been alerted that a Sitonian Division of Astrael-craft is approaching this
satellite. I shall have to end this thought-transmission soon as I have many
things to attend to when the craft arrive. They have travelled far and stop here
to rest and replenish their supplies before continuing on their way."
Before ending, Kashendo sent his best wishes on behalf of the
Confederation for the Christmas and New Year season which was then
approaching. I thanked him and asked when the equivalent season called Nixi
Yacandi in the Confederation would be celebrated.
"You have twelve months in your year," Kashendo replied. "We call
months 'cydes'. We have fifteen such cydes in a Koldasian year. Our Nixi
Yacandi in the Confederation will be two of your Earth months ahead (of now).
This is the time we commemorate the advent of the Divine One who walked
our worlds. As on Earth, it is for us too a time for contemplation and
celebration. We also make merry and there is much visiting between friends.
I asked, "Could you tell us exactly what date on our calendar Nixi Yacandi
would be celebrated?"
"It will be the third week in the month of February (1976). The
Confederation celebrates the whole week as 'Christmas' and every planet (in
the Confederation) joins in.Yes there is much merry-making." Kashendo ended
the thought-transmission saying that our next transmission would be in a
month's time when Valdar would be back to talk to us.
I made a mental note to do something special for Nixi Yacandi which
would be representative of our civilization of man on Earth. I decided that it
would have to include extracts from a musical masterpiece.
When Kashendo had gone it was quiet in the room for a short while.
Elizabeth and I looked at Edwin expectantly. When he had 'returned', we asked
him, half jokingly if he had had a good journey to Melchor.
He replied, "Carl, it gets more and more vivid. I know exactly where I have
been.The last time it was more of a jumble but this time it was like watching a
film-screen."
I asked Edwin to enlarge upon his experience and how it differed from the
'visit' he had made to Valdars craft.
115
Our next contact was with Valdar and it came just about the time when
people on Earth were being alerted about Eros. This uneven and oblong-shaped
asteroid approached Earth tumbling end-over-end through space on its orbit
around our Sun. Eros is about the same size as Manhattan and it takes 21
months to orbit the Sun, and closes with our Earth at predictable intervals with
radio and press speculating on the width of safety margins during its passes.
"Greetings, my friends," Valdar said in his usual jovial voice, "We are at
present approximately halfway between Earth and Venus. We are observing an
asteroid which is approaching. I'm sure you have heard of it."
I replied that we had read about Eros in the newspapers.
116
Valdar continued, "There is no danger of collision with Earth. It will bypass your planet and so far it has not collided with any other. But who knows,
one day when it passes through your solar system it might collide or be
intercepted by a planet. At present, there are no obstacles in its path and it will
pass Earth by a large margin. It is good to be speaking through Edwin again. I
would like you to relax as much as possible during these thoughttransmissions. Concentrate on my voice. Although it is Edwin's voice you are
hearing, it is really mine. Eventually, you will receive my thought without any
instrument. At this moment, I am seated in an Astrael-craft in space. All around
me are stars. It is peaceful and quiet. There is a darkness in space that you have
never seen. Each star, each planet, hangs like a jewel in this void of velvet
blackness. Try to visualize this scene."
117
"As I look through the observation windows, I see your Earth and as I turn
in my seat, I see Venus behind me. It looms a little larger than Earth at the
moment. I hope you can imagine this scene in your minds' eye.
Valdar hinted at some future catastrophe and the changes that this event
would bring with it. But he gave no due as to when this cataclysm or cosmic
upheaval would take place as this was unknown even to the scientists of the
Confederation. They are certain that it will occur as they have learned to
interpret varous signs in their long history of cosmic observations.
Valdar said, "The virgin lands where the ancient Atlanteans settled will one
day be a haven for mankind again. For after the big change takes place, where
there are now oceans, there will be land and where there is now land, there
will be oceans. The continents of America, Africa, Asia and Europe will no
longer be there. In their place will be these 'new' lands, now at the polar
regions, and civilization will start again for we think your polar regions will
not suffer in this big upheaval. They will remain more or less intact but the
climate will change and the ice-caps will melt. On the rest of Earth's surface
there will be drastic changes! The present polar regions are even now being
prepared, for they will be needed. You may have noticed that there is a lot of
UFO activity there."
Valdar concluded with the promise to make another contact at the end of
the month cyde. He said, "I will be in this vicinity again before returning to
Koldas for my rest period."
Following these words, Edwin returned to us after a brief interval of
silence. He groaned while he opened his eyes. "Oh, my head feels heavy. You
know, Carl, I could see Earth... but it was a little hazy, like looking at the sun
through a cloud. I could make out some detail, but only dimly. There was a
black spot. There may have been a heck of a storm raging there! I could faintly
see the land masses and a bluish haze around it.
It is a fantastic sight. I suppose that is why the Koldasians call Earth a
"jewel".That's what it looks like; transparent, like an opal, in a way. It is the
deepest blue you can imagine. It must be the oceans or the atmosphere."
His impressions inside the craft were summed up thus, "It was very much
the same as before. I was aware of Valdar and his radio technician who seemed
to play a part of some sort this time. On my first thought-contact with Valdar,
118
he was seated in his seat which was higher than those of his crew. But this time
there were two seats, one on either side of him. Tonight there was Valdar and
next to him was his radio technician. It seemed as though I was standing and
looking over their shoulders all the time. They weren 't doing anything in
particular; they seemed to be seated the whole time looking at Earth. Don't ask
me how I know that the other person was his radio technician, I just know he
was. If only one could register or record on some kind of instrument what one
feels and sees. It is the queerest thing, coming back from the depths of space;
you can feel yourself being pulled back; you can feel the acceleration !"
CHAPTER 12
Two Confederations
Meet
The teleportation of Peter and Frances in
Zimbabwe in May 1974 had an unexpected sequel
at Q Base when we met for our next contact with
Valdar (27 January 1975). The young couple were
frightened out of their wits while on an all-night car
tourney from Salisbury (now called Harare) via Fort
Victoria to the South African border. That night they
were in the grip of a strange power which hurled
their car at break-neck speed on an unfamiliar road
and through strange surroundings. Peter, who was
driving, completely lost control of his vehicle; he
could neither stop it nor steer it. At the end of their
nightmare journey, when they reached the South
African border at dawn, Peter discovered that his
fuel tank was still full. No fuel had been used for
their 280 kilometer trip! Later, when Peter was
hypnotically regressed to the night in question, he
relived the whole experience.

CHAPTER 13
Earth Transmission
In the Confederation, the festival of Nixi
Yacandi is the equivalent of our Christmas on Earth.
There too it is held in honor of the birth of a Christlike being. The festival lasts about one week of
Earth-time and part of it is spent in prayer and
meditation and part in the reunion of families and
friends and the exchange of gifts. It is a joyful time
for young and old and is centered around the home
and family. Relatives and friends visit one another,
travelling from one planet to another in the
Confederation in large cigar-shaped spacecraft.

CHAPTER 14
Project Fireball
In the event of a global catastrophe taking place on earth, the Confederation
has devised a rescue plan called "Operation Fireball". Its purpose is to save as
many lives as possible in a mass evacuation of those of Earth's inhabitants who
130
choose of their own free will to leave and be resettled on another planet with
similar environmental conditions. Early in 1975 Valdar spoke to us at "Q" Base
about the possibility of such a world disaster taking place.* (*In 1975 Dr.
Bonnie Marshick, Psychologist, living in Tucson, Arizona, received extensive
"automatic typing" transmissions on a "dark sun" approaching our solar system
from the direction of Cancer. The work was received in German and she can
not speak or read any German. Her terminal stage breast cancer was cured
during the automatic typing sessions in her home, in the early morning hours in
the dark of night and with no lights.)
He (Valdar) - said, "At present the Earth has two major problems. We have
already mentioned Sola Kananda. Who have tried to divert it but without
success so far. For the moment, let us ignore this second sun, since there are
ways and means of overcoming its effects."
At "Q" Base we first heard about Sola Kananda approaching our solar
system in 1973, when Wy-Ora visited at "Q" Base to alert the members. Sola
Kananda means a "sun that has not yet flared or blazed", we are told. It is
approaching from the constellation of Cancer. As our solar system enters deeper
into its sphere of influence, changes in our planetary magnetic fields have from
time to time been observed by the Confederation. One of these disturbances
reached its peak in June 1975. In the magnetic fields or "tunnels" that connect
the planets in our solar system, the two opposing streams of magnetic flux
short-circuited. Instead of flowing along the length of the tunnel, in many
places they jumped across to the returning stream.
131
finds its way downwards. But there are microscopic particles of carbon;
minute and invisible to the eye, which are blown high up into the ionosphere.
These particles are so light that they do not return to the Earth but remain up
there. In addition there is air pollution. Over the years, carbon particles from
many terrestrial sources such as industry, fires and so on, have also collected at
these higher altitudes where they remain and mix with the radioactive carbon
particles. Here a reaction has been brought about by the radiation of your sun
which has now created an inflammable and explosive layer around your planet.
Do you realize what this could mean?"
Valdar stressed again the seriousness of this matter. "Yes, solar radiation
has now created an inflammable ionosphere around the Earth. These layers
have become impregnated with various forms of carbon, dispersed in clouds
over large areas of many thousands of miles."
"This has also brought about temperature changes in some areas. Although
the sun's rays can still filter through them, some regions are becoming warmer
while others are becoming colder. But the greatest danger is the explosion of
nuclear warheads in or near this inflammable region! On a few occasions
already, guided missiles with explosive warheads have been stopped by us and
the mechanism rendered harmless. The purpose of these missiles was to
explode nuclear devices high above your planet. If this inflammable layer were
ever ignited, your planet could become a ball of fire!"
Obviously, Valdar was deeply concerned for the safety of the population of
Earth. He continued, "If you detonated a bomb of a certain strength, or if a
nuclear war broke out on Earth, the whole planet could eventually burn up. If
there is anything that we of the Confederation have succeeded in doing on
earth, it is to instill a healthy respect in the minds of your military' and
government leaders of such a calamity being touched off by a high level test or
a nuclear war. But some irresponsible leader might start a conflict which
might escalate."
132
exploded a nuclear device high above their surface. We think it is possible that
Earth could suffer a similar fate."
"Operation Fireball" had been conceived and implemented by the Superiors
of the Confederation. It could be put into action for Earth or any other planet
should the need arose for an emergency mass evacuation. Specially trained
crews with craft are permanently on standby on each of the Confederation
planets to respond immediately to a Fireball emergency situation anywhere.
Valdar continued, "They all respond to a code word to alert them. High
above Earth, the Confederation has placed many artificial satellites in orbit to
monitor those critical regions. Equipped with sensitive instruments and
warning devices, these satellites could be great lifesavers for the population
of Earth. If the inflammable layers were ignited, a warning signal would be
relayed by radio transmitters via booster stations to Melchor, which as you
know is on the perimeter of your solar system."
"Initially 'Operation Fireball' was set in motion about twelve years ago
(1963). But where to take the population of Earth? that was the problem.
Heeding the warning indicated by the planet in Cetus, a suitable home had to be
found and prepared for the Confederation. An expedition was organized and a
planet was found which resembled Earth in many ways. It has the same
atmosphere and ground conditions and this new young planet was named
EPICOT. Cities were planned and houses were built and laid out in spacious
133
suburbs. Each house was placed on an acre of ground and the building and
gardens styled on the pattern of those on Earth. At present (1975) these garden
cities on Epicot have reached the stage where much of Earth's population could
be accommodated... Artificial holding planets such as Triton have been built
and placed in orbit... We have had previous experience in the mass evacuation
of a population from a planet in distress," Valdar added.
To the question of where such a mass evacuation had taken place, Valdar
replied that Mars in our solar system was one! Apparently a disastrous war had
broken out on Mars devastating the planet to such an extent that life was no
longer possible on its surface... He said... "Yes, Mars... the destruction of the
Red Planet. I will ask Zyloo to give you a special transmission on Mars. How
the planet became uninhabitable and how the population had to start life again
elsewhere. Their new planet is called Siton and is now a thriving part of the
Confederation.
Valdar kept his word and on June 4th, 1975, we received a radio
transmission, but not by Zyloo. This came from Atra, a Koldasian who spoke
English very well... He said,"Valdar has asked me to contact you and tell you of
the destruction of the red Planet, Mars. It was intended that Zyloo, who himself
happens to be a descendent of the ancient Martian race, should give you the
story. But he is at present on a mission which has taken him away. But I have
been given all the facts as recorded in the memory banks or archives on
Grandor. Even in ancient times Mars was called the 'god of war' and rightly so
for it was indeed a warlike planet. Its present desolate appearance is the result
of nuclear warfare which brought life on the surface to an end. Our scientists
are of the opinion that Mars is now slowly recovering its balance or equilibrium
and one day it will again be able to support life as it did in the past."
Atra then briefly sketched the early history of the race that once inhabited
Mars. Where the Martians came from was only later explained. He
described Mars as a thriving planet in spite of its meager water resources. It
never had the seas and oceans of Earth, but almost waterless encircling deserts
with the inevitable dust-storms, which divided Mars into two inhabitable
regions. These were centered around the two poles... The Martian civilization
was therefore divided into two sections, the North and the South, each with
its own cities, industry and agriculture however there were distinct differences
between them. The North had more abundant water and more fertile soil
134
yielding better harvests. The South was rich in minerals and metals, and their
industry and technology outstripped these developments in the North. The
South also developed space travel earlier, and although they did not travel
deeply into space, they did travel to the two moons. Eventually intense rivalry
and friction developed between these two regions. The South, the more
aggressive, developed atomic power before the North, and a struggle for
control of the whole planet developed. The Northemers feared their opponents'
superior weapons and an arms race was the result which turned into an
explosive situation when the South gained complete control of the two moons
from where guided missiles were trained on the North."
"Then one terrible night," continued Atra, "the Southnation struck!" A
giant warhead containing missiles, each of which was capable of destroying an
area of at least 160 kilometers in diameter, was launched from one of the
moons. More missiles were launched from the other moon. It was almost total
destruction for the North and the South thought they had triumphed. But
somehow an unexpected chain reaction exploded large stocks of such weapons
which the South had stored. As the giant arsenals exploded, shock after
shock rocked the planet. Fires started by the devastation raged for weeks. When
these died down the greater ordeal began for those who survived the initial
blasts. Radiation killed many, and more died from starvation as the food and
water supplies were contaminated. Then intense radiation storms scarred the
planet, searing its surface.
"The handful of survivors, shocked and stunned by the ghastly ordeal, then
began 'Operation Survival'. All they could do at the time was to go
underground -beneath the surface to escape the poisons of destructive radiation.
Settlements, and later cities, were built below the surface and power was
generated to illuminate the underground cities. Food was grown underground in
sealed transparent containers to prevent contamination. The entire
underground world was sealed off from the surface of the planet."
Atra said that due to these new conditions the Martian race changed and a
new subterranean civilization emerged. What had been the surface was left to
the elements and the harsh atmospheric conditions which changed the face of
Mars to that which man on earth sees today. The devastating dust-storms which
now rage there have long since erased all traces of the ancient Martian
civilizations. In the polar regions, the large icecaps disappeared although there
135
"Imagine people who have never seen rain, clouds and the blue sky above,"
Atra continued. "What an experience it must have been for them to walk on
their new planet and feel for the first time the warmth of their sun and the
blessings of rain. They could plant seed in good soil and harvest fruit and
vegetables, and cereals they had never tasted before! Children playing in the
light of their own sun. Truly this could only be a gift from the Divine One. The
Martian, or Sitonian, civilization which survived and which prospers today, is
one where the word 'war' still conjures up memories of a tragic past. They
have realized the importance of living in peace. They have no monetary system.
Trading is by barter, as they are now part of the large Confederation. Their craft
travel the magnetic fields and they are now at peace with all the planets. On
Earth, you have reached the nuclear age, the power of destruction you now
posses could very well destroy this beautiful planet of yours.
"Why destroy a young planet which still has 500 million years to go....?
Why destroy yourselves? The Confederation earnestly asks you to change
your ways and live in peace. The key to the harnessing of universal power is
harmony, goodwill, peace... You may find this hard to accept, but it is the truth.
Not the energy from the atom!..."
CHAPTER 15
136
Earth Rescue
During the period when the severe magnetic disturbance interfered with
Confederation contact with "Q" Bases on Earth, an unexpected interlude
occurred. The magnetic storm within our solar system started on the 24th of
June 1975, and ended about nine months later. But on the evening of the 27th,
we at "Q" Base were not aware that anything was amiss and we expected a
routine transmission. After Edwin was put into a receiving condition, instead of
hearing Valdar or one of the others, we heard, to our astonishment, words in a
strange language
.......
"Viso kialda katauw, visi kiaka kasalundo katauw, si ....... Kialda, kialda..."
It sounded like a plaintive cry for help. The last two words were familiar.
We knew "Ceto Kialda" to mean "emergency people". What was the
emergency?
137
As I knew no other words, I replied with "Ceto kial da". The response was
immediate.
If only we had some idea of whom we were in contact with. I said, "Please
tell us your name." The reply came immediately, "Eeso... Eeso." I continued,
"Greetings, Eeso. This is Confederation "Q" Base. What is the emergency?"
Was he getting the drift of what I was saying? Apparently not, for he
continued with another string of strange words.
I tried again, "Eeso of the Confederation. We greet you from "Q" Base. Try
again... in English. What is the emergency? What emergency?
138
Was the emergency connected with "project Fireball" I asked. "No... not
Project Fireball... Craft... our craft... ....... ....... standby, Earthman."
There was another pause, then Eeso continued, "Now the computer is better
adjusted to take our conversation. Earthman, do you hear me? This is my
emergency. For some time we have been circling your planet. We are unable to
accelerate beyond your planet because of magnetic turbulence. Emergency,
Earthman. We will be shortly doomed."
"Is there anything we can do?" I asked.
"Yes... there are solar energy batteries at "A" Base. They have also a
telephone. Pass on as soon as possible the code letters. We have only just sufficient solar energy left to remain in a stable position with this craft for one and
a half Earth days. Our transmitters are without power. All this is due to the
magnetic disturbance. If we do not receive assistance... in two days we will
perish."
I assured Eeso that we would deal with the matter immediately. He
replied, "I... thank you. That is really all that is needed. At "A" Bas., they
have in their posession a small space-craft, and if they bring us fresh solar
batteries, I could leave this orbit."
I asked Eeso if he knew where Valdar was at that moment.
"Valdar is on Melchor. Koldasian-craft are unable to reach this planet due
to this magnetic disturbance in your solar system. On Melchor, which is on the
perimeter of your solar system, are all the Confederation craft. We cannot land
as this craft is too large. It is eight (of your) kilometers in length. On board we
have 400 students and personnel. We come from Carmel, a planet in the
Confederation."
I then inquired how long he had been in that predicament and how he
happened to be there with 400 students.
139
"We came from Cialdar and are heading for Kopone, and the magnetic field
goes through your solar system. At this moment we are stranded in this orbit
27,000 kilometers above Earth. We cannot escape the gravitational attraction
of your planet. If we fall, the whole world shall know. You will see us fall!
The last transmission from the Confederation was five days ago. Nothing since
then. You see radio transmissions are not possible with all the turbulence
such as we have now. Even 'thought' transmissions are difficult. There is a
short-circuit in the magnetic channels and we are cut-off and in free fall. No
Astrael-craft can reach us from Melchor because of the magnetic turbulence
which causes violent buffering to the craft, even in those fields which are still
passable. The only hope we have now is the craft at 'A' Base on earth......
for days I have tried to make contact. We have seen many rotations of your
planet. But now at last, I am fortunate indeed to have made contact with a 'Q'
Base."
Conversation was now much easier and Eeso sounded greatly relieved. He
continued, "It is cold here, Earth-man... cold! The students are on an
educational tour. We have enough food and water, but it is cold. I must ration
the energy we have left for heating. So, please contact 'A' Base as soon as
possible. "A" Base is, according to my records here, 72 kilometers from your
position there. I know that there will be someone there now, because for the
past days all 'A' Bases have been on the alert. Only the craft at these 'A' Bases
can recharge the solar energy cells."
"I have never been to Earth," Eeso continued, "I have passed many times.
It is a lovely and beautiful planet. One day, I hope to come. The students I have
on board are from many different planets. They are training for pilots,
communicators, navigators... This is the final part of their training period.
They are very young and I am very tired..."
I succeeded in passing the message of the stricken craft to "A" Base
about half an hour after we finished our thought-communication with Eeso. The
person answering my telephone call gave his name as Gerry. He assured me
that he would act on my message immediately. With our mission completed for
the moment, we waited for two days to make contact again with the huge craft.
The magnetic disturbances are natural phenomena according to the
Confederation, which may occur at intervals of ten to twelve years.
On Sunday evening, June 29th, 1975, we were ready to make contact with
Eeso at the appointed hour of eight o'clock. As he came through he again
140
poured out a torrent of words in the strange tongue. He sounded much more
cheerful and confident and we presumed that he must have received the
assistance he had asked for.
There was a brief pause, then he said, "Greetings people of Earth. We are
happy that you at 'Q' Base relayed my message to 'A' Base. It saved the lives of
all these students, my personnel and myself. Thank you indeed. Other 'Q' Bases
were alerted but they were unable to help. These 'Q' Bases were in other
countries, some too far away from 'A' Bases. Atra, from your 'A' Base is
no longer there. All Confederation personnel have been evacuated from
there. They are on Melchor at present waiting to return at first opportunity. It is
the same with all the other 'A' Bases on your planet. Earth personnel are now
in charge of them. Earthman Gerry arrived in a scout craft with the solar
energy cells. He has already returned. But we must still be careful with the
magno-solar energy supply. This craft is an old model, not like the latest
Corynthian type which is much more efficient in the use of energy. I made a
big mistake! I should not have ventured into this system at all. I was warned by
Melchor not to enter it. You see, the magnetic fields are very deceiving. At the
first all was well. Then the field in front and the in behind suddenly became
very turbulent... Then as we began to run out of power, the large craft control
system failed and we began to tumble in space. But we are happy now and soon
hope to leave this orbit. We are just waiting for the turbulence to subside
sufficiently to give us a good chance to leave. It is the worst magnetic storm for
a long time.
"If I cannot leave within a week," Eeso continued, "I will have to land in
one of your seas. It must be sufficiently deep to allow this craft to settle on the
bottom. Emergency escape compartments will then take the students and
personnel to the surface with cables. Then 'Q' Bases equipped with sea-going
craft will take our people to shore. But I do not want to do this unless it is
absolutely necessary."
At our request, Eeso told us more about his enormous spacecraft. "It is
round like a long cylinder, eight kilometers in length and one and a half
kilometers in circumference (.48 kilometers in diameter). This craft is
141
called Kalsando, but this model is not often used these days. Sitonians have a
craft very similar to this one, but not as large, although more powerful."
"For the last two days we have observed earth from this altitude," said
Eeso. "Now that we have power again to operate equipment and instruments for
close observation, we have taken a closer look at your planet. I must say it
is a beautiful planet! It does not seem possible from here that there is an
almost constant struggle for power with war and bloodshed taking place in
many areas of this jewel of a planet... but the evidence is there for all of us to
see! For the students it has been a most valuable experience... I gave them a
lecture about Earthmen, and I told them of Edwin and all of you at 'Q' Base.
The students are very interested and agree that this has been a valuable
experience. I told them how Edwin had been trained by Koldasians since a
small boy.* (*This is the first indication in this manuscript that Edwin has
been observed and prepared for these contacts longer than he remembers.)
... I would like to thank you for what you have done for this carrier.
Your names I have put in the log. Gerry' s name is also entered...
.My superiors will read this log. I will leave now. Koran Seka -- this
means, 'We will meet again'."
CHAPTER 16
Earthbase Compromised.
On the 9th of July, six days after we had bid farewell to Eeso and his
400 students, we four at "Q" Base met for our usual routine thoughttransmission. We wondered if there was any Confederation craft we might
contact for news of Eeso s progress or, with luck, we might make contact
with Eeso himself while in orbit.
142
The word "yes" was uttered in two syllables, the first sound deeper than the
second. This was definitely not the style of conversation we were used to and
it began to worry me. However, having started with this mysterious Goldar, I
decided to get to the bottom of it.
"We were hoping to contact Commander Eeso in his space-carrier
Kalsando. Can you perhaps tell us where he is?"
"No, I do not know where he is."
After a moment. "What is your location?" I asked.
"In orbit around our planet Earth?" I asked.
143
144
Suddenly there was a rapid question in a changed voice from Edwin's lips.
"Who is this speaking through Edwin?"
There was a pause and the question was repeated.
Before I could answer, Goldar said, "This is Goldar speaking through
Edwin."
The new voice said, "This is Gerry to Goldar. I order you to be gone and
that you no longer are to speak through this person."
In the silence that followed, I said, "Gerry!... Are we speaking to you
now?"
"You are...."
"Good evening, Gerry, are we glad to make contact with you!"
"Carl, I don't know what is going on but maybe you can fill me in."
"We intended to contact Eeso, but seem to have got Goldar instead. Do you
know this person called Goldar?"
"I don't know him, but I suspect that he is not of the Confederation.
How long did you have this conversation with him?"
145
"We are still concerned about Eeso. Can you talk to us about him?" I asked.
"Eeso is fine. They reached Venus and their craft is now in orbit. The
students have been taken to the surface. There is still a skeleton staff of
personnel on the carrier, but otherwise all is well." Gerry stopped, sighed and
added, "I do not want to say much about the other matter at the moment. Our
eavesdroppers are no doubt rejoicing because the Confederation are no longer
here due to the magnetic disturbance. They have a free hand at the moment,
unfortunately. So I would only say that conditions are very much the same,
but shortly there may be an improvement. That's all I will say at the moment."
146
"We are just standing by here at 'A' Base. There is nothing to do. The
Astrael-craft we have here is the only remaining link with the Confederation
and we can not afford anything to happen to it. Then there is the energy
position. You see, Eeso has our spare batteries and the only remaining cells are
those in the craft. We are therefore cranking the hangar doors by hand. Fortunately there is a manual mechanism to open and close these doors but
normally they are power-operated. So we are carefully conserving our energy
supply. On the communications side, things are quiet now. We usually handle
between 35 and 40 transmissions a day, but there is nothing at present."
To our question if he was by himself at "A" Base, Gerry replied, "No,
there's the owner of the farm and two others. Four of us in all. We are all on
stand-by. At all the other 'A' Bases it is much the same."
147
"Not in my lifetime," said Gerry. "I have been told it has in the past, but I
don't think there were any 'A' Bases in those days. For us, it is something new.
Occasionally, there are minor disturbances which are not too serious. These
are like our electrical storms. But this latest disturbance is on a bigger scale
extending through our whole solar system. It has virtually cut us off from the
surrounding space, isolating us very effectively."
"What about the craft from the North polar regions?" we asked.
"These craft are normally bell-shaped or mushroom-shaped and are usually
very small. They don't carry more than a few crew. They have no large craft
and they are not propelled by the magnetic fields. They use some electric
turbo-propulsion system, therefore they cant really venture very far out into
Outer Space, but they do cause mischief in certain areas on our planet."
"Have you come across this Goldar before, or do you think this might be a
fictitious name?" I asked.
"I have not heard the name before; it is hard to say. Normally they don 't
venture into Africa; it is a little far from home for them. They seem to prefer
the cooler regions and isolated areas which are densely covered by vegetation.
Their craft are not reliable and they seem to have to stop after traveling a
few hundred kilometers, probably to regenerate power and then take off
again. It is hard to say what they are after. The Koldasians are well aware of
them and their activities but I'm told not to be too concerned about these
people. Apparently they are a dying race. They have caused disturbances
in the past and even bloodshed but they normally keep to themselves and are
rarely seen. The people who have seen them are very fortunate if they get
back home, for they have been known to abduct persons who are never seen
again."
"What would happen if there were a Fireball emergency now that 'A' Base
is only on stand-by," I asked.
"Well, this is a dangerous situation at the moment. If anything of that nature
were to happen, well... I'm afraid there would be nothing we could do. You see,
148
"Well, as you all know, my name is Gerry. I was adopted by the owner of
this farm. My parents died in a motorcar accident when I was seven years old.
After I completed my schooling" -- he mentioned a well-known boys' college
in Natal, South Africa -- "I was trained by the Confederation. This is now my
work. This is what I do for a living. We also do some farming..."
"Yes, we heard about your cabbages from Eeso," we said, laughing.
"That was an oversight on my part. I didn't realize that they do not have
cooking facilities on these craft. All their food is pre-cooked..."
"Nevertheless, it was thoughtful of you to take food to the marooned
craft."

That was the end of the
Confederation "A" Base on our planet.
Official approval had been given by
several governments for the
establishment of these five bases in
remote farming or desert areas. The
proviso was that activities only took
place during the hours of darkness and
that everything remained hidden from
public view. These "A" Bases were
well equipped; there were telescopic
masts with radio antennae which
emerged at night; giant doors which
rolled aside to allow the resident
scoutcraft to rise from underground
bunkers to fly their regular patrols and
return before dawn. These bases were
invariably staffed by volunteer Earth
personnel. All this has now disappeared
and all traces have been removed.
It was the end too of the feigned
(hyklerisk)cordial relationship between
some countries and the Confederation.
As a token of their goodwill, a team of
Earth scientists had been taken on a
space tour of some of the Twelve
Planets in the Confederation. But the
war-like attack on the "A" Base ended
all that. Will they ever trust us again?
"Q" Bases are still here and will
probably remain until the end. There
are many of these "Q" Bases all over
the world, all keeping a very low

How did this world begin? Where

time when no matter of any sort was in
existence?
These are some of the unsolved
puzzles of Nature.
Holy scripture simply says: God
thought and the world was.
In scientific circles, it has become
fashionable to suppose that the
Universe began 15 billion years ago
with a big bang. The bang was not only
big, it was also very hot--in excess of

guardians of the planets. We are a peaceful force, providing our rights are
respected.
"You must realize by now that your
planet is very important to us. If the
Outer Worlds have their way and
destroy your planet physically, it
would have serious consequences in
both Universes! But they will avoid
committing this act themselves. They
will not come here in force for this
would be violating one of the most
cherished laws of the Confederation-the attack of another planet. But
unfortunately, they have found a way of
getting around this. You, men of Earth,
will destroy your own planet for them!
It will seem as though the Outer Worlds
had nothing to do with it."(They
patiently wait) "But," Zyloo continued,
"if Earth were to suffer such a fate,
indeed, it would mean a great deal to
the anti-world. For the one Universe
keeps the other in balance. The two
Universes rotate in opposite directions
and the masses comprising systems are
in delicate balance. Even if one planet
were to be eliminated, it would mean a
change in momentum. So, if Earth
perished, Venus could also perish and
so a chain-reaction would set in
throughout your solar system.
"How would this affect the
Confederation? The Outer Worlds
know that by destroying Earth here,
they could also deastroy Earth's twin in
the anti-world. By destroying Venus
here, they would be destroying
Salamia. But Salamia is populated!

going to affect our relationship with the
Confederation which we had come to
know so well over the years? How long
would the break last? Would they ever
return in our lifetime?
In retrospect, we should have had

In this book I have had to be very
selective for so much taped material is
available and more is added to this
veritable mountain of transmissions at
the rate of two every month.
Therefore, only the most
interesting tapes have been included
here. Many are of a more personal
nature and would be of no interest to
the goneral public.
To conclude this book, a special
request was made by me to Valdar; that
is, for him to make a transmission to be
included in the final chapter.
This he did; making that
transmission on the 9th of June, 1982.
It was beamed to a tape-recorder and
this transcript of the message is

of these questions cannot be answered
definitely by me. The most crucial

As mentioned in my letter of 14

that these transmissions are of some
importance, and I have prepared an
Epilogue, which is enclosed... I am
sending this directly to you. I trust
there is still time to in-clude this
material in A COSMIC DIALOGUE.
Here is a copy of the recording.
The final transmission was made
by Vax Noah, the Superior of Koldas.
The quality of this recording is good,
and I wonder it it would be possible to
supply a copy of this with the book.
There will have to be some editing,
and our names must be taken out of the
copy supplied to the public... You may
want to abbreviate the address by Vax
Noah which runs for about thirty

This was a spectacular treat,
completely unexpected up to now, but
it offered a new opportunity to try
some-thing different. We would see if
there was any way to provide a copy of

this book.

APPENDIX I
Statements by Witnesses
252
253
Mr Wendelle C. Stevens
3224 So. Winona Cir.
TUCSON
arizona 85730
U.S.A.
Dear Mr - Stevens,
Thank you for your letter with its flattering suggestions. I always take
handwritten letters from North Pmerica very seriously and I have given yours
much thought. I checked what little material I have of 5 years ago and
composed 'an extensive narrative statement of this phenomenon with Edwin'
along the lines you suggested. as it is a very personal statement I dont think it
will help you so I have decided not to send you the tape . I found this useful as
it gave me a chance to review the whole matter in the perspective of events that
are past and completed.
254
You should realize that my only role in the matter was to be a known
respectable biologist who could tell the story of a contact with extra-terrestrials
to primed audiences in the confined area of Durban, South Africa for a limited
period of time. Any observer of my efforts would agree that the people I was
dealing with were not yet ready for such thinking although plenty of evidence
was available to them.
Perhaps you are wrong to think of this case in terms of 'these unique
events' which could become 'a classic' . It seems to me that the Confederation
and the others have made many attempts at educating people all round the
world in different ways. There is nothing special about Carl Van Vlierdens
book and I am sure many others will compare their experiences with those of
Edwin and Carl. The book will stand or fall by its content and does not need me
or anyone else to try and validate it. The comment Cynthia Hind sent you was
written by me simply as a statement of fact which you are free to use in
whatever way you like. She is correct in suggesting that the English needs
polishing up by someone before it is used.
Ms Pamella Cotchin judgement of my abilities are colored by her finding
me to be equally at home in dealing with orthodox Christian concepts as I am
with current scientific discoveries. There is nothing unusual in this as there are
many of us who read both Pierre Teilbard de Chardin and Scientific American.
Similarly I know of Fritjof Capras ideas but I am more familiar with our South
African equivalent, Prof Whiteman, who takes the concepts of quantum physics
and draws analogies as with the teachings of Budha.
I have two difficulties with such approaches. Firstly the concepts of
modern science move very quickly so that particle physics has changed
dramatically since Capra wrote 'THE TAO OF PHYSICS' yet by contrast the
ancient scriptures are static. Secondly in most interpretations of ancient texts
one can see the fashions of the day and the personal emotions of the expositors.
This is why the cannon of ufo literature has to be treated with skill and
experience and not just with crude analogies.
Thank you for your offer to summarize 'new physics works that
demonstrate anti-matter and reverse time as another realitv contemporary with
ours'. I dont think this will be necessary as I have no hang-ups on multidimensional reality indeed in my day-to-day work I always used topological
rather that statistical analysis. My real interest at the moment is the mapping of
other dimensions into the rigid, limited, brains of our species at this point of
time. I do not take my task seriously as I have technically retired.

From your letter I get the impression that you are worried in case someone
cries hoax about the Edwin story. If anyone does, then it is an incredibly
elaborate way for a hoaxer to express consistent grass roots contact between
late 20th century earth and outsiders. For this reason alone the story is worth
publishing in my opinion. However, I am pretty sure it is not a simple hoax and
I am happily discuss the details with any honest, interested person. But you
must realise that any powerful, dishonest lobby that thought it was worth its
while debunking the book could do so and discredit me too without much
effort. This is not my reason for declining our offer to publish an objective,
scientific review of Carl's book. In the past I have been at the receiving end of
a couple of scientific controversies and I am not afraid to face such music in
my retirement. No my reasons are simply what I have explained to you in the
first part of this letter.
With my best wishes for your venture and the new year.
Yours sincerely
Walter Pople

The local U.F.O. research society has an extensive library and had
investigated the Confederation contact from the mid 1960's. I joined this
society read the available literature and met a number of critics of the
Confederation story. When I discussed particular criticism with Fred I always
obtained a satisfactory explanation in terms of a consistent picture of the
Confederation.
After a number of years I had sufficient confidence to give public talks on
U.F.O's including my experiences. It was almost as if the Confederation was
sounding out public reaction locally just as spectacular events were doing it on
a world scale. At the end of 1979,
I was present at a broadcast when the Confederation gave their reasons for
withdrawing from planet earth and ceasing contact. Their assessment of local
reaction seemed valid to me at the time. In my own case the authorities pointed
out that a belief in U.F.O's was not good for my public image as a senior
research scientist in a government agency. It is only because I have retired
from this post for other reasons that I feel free to write this comment.

Dear Sir,
My name is Ms Pamela. S. Cotchin; and I'm writing to you in response to a
request from Carl Von Vlierden whose book you are in the process of
publishing "A Cosmic Dialogue" is the title or sub-title to the best of my
knowledge. Carl lives in Pinetown South Africa; and you may be wondering
how I came to be mixed up in his witnesses. In actual fact it was through a stay
I made with my Aunt and Uncle mid-year in 1976 on the occasion of my first
trip overseas.
I was aged 39 years at the time, married with four children, and traveling
with my youngest at the time. My interest in space craft was nominal. In that I
mean that I believed in their existence, yet I'd never seen one; I didn't belong to
any organizations, yet I did have friends in Australia who talked about life on
other worlds a good deal - and I enjoyed their conversations. None of these
people knew Carl though.
It was during the last weeks of my stay in South Africa when further
conversations with people who were trance mediums lead me to ask Del ( my
Aunt ) " How did she think that space people could possibly be mixed up with
the spirit world ? " The two frames of reference seemed to be too far apart to
be believable:
yet I could accept both in their relative pigeon holes. Del suggested that I
might like to meet an old friend of hers - Carl Van Vlierden. She rang him and
we went to his home a few nights later.
Carl 'sounded out' my understanding of universal concepts and offered me
six hours of 'tape' which were earlier transmissions which he had recorded
beforehand. :i.e. said that I could feel free to play the first set to anyone who
258
may be interested, but to be discreet with the last one. I promised that I would,
and before we left that evening, Carl asked me if I would like to meet "Edwin I
couldn't resist; and said " Yes !.
He said he would have to speak to "Edwin"and family first, and in the
meantime, Del and I attended several public meetings where Carl lectured
about his concept of universal levels and of Edwin's" contact with people from
outer space.
Within a week Del and I were headed to "Edwin's" home. It was modest
and they were a shy and somewhat retiring couple with a young family; and I
respected their right to be shielded from publicity - if that was what they
wished. In fact, I knew of a similar couple in Australia whose contact with
someone from outer space caused quite an upheaval to the immediate family,
and to friends who were close to them at the time. Even now, I do not feel free
to discuss their personal experiences without their consent - and as I am not
aware of what Carl has written of in his book, it may not even be relative to
what you are seeking as far as confirmation goes. However, in the tapes that I
was given, it was spoken of that people from outer space sometimes
'overshadow an earth person at times and almost merge with his personality'.
The difference can be felt as well as seen if it continues for a time, and when
the 'overshadowing' concludes, everything returns back to normal again. I have
witnessed such an event and the husband of my friend grew at least six inches
in height and emanated a tranquillity of soul which was never apparent
beforehand. With this came abilities he had never exhibited beforehand and a
feeling within each one of us that "Andy" wasn't there anymore - we were
talking to someone else again.... This lasted till September 1974, and was gone
- everything back to normal by Christmas 1974.

"Q - Base. Calling Q - base" etc. I switched my tape recorder on and taped
it as 'Edwin' leaped out of his chair and proceeded to inform the 'Caller' that
they had guests and a transmission was not possible that night. His apparent
fluster at this taking place before us was quite genuine and to me, unnecessary.
Still, Edwin didn't know me, or Del for that matter, and I could quite
understand his panic. Carl then told him not to worry - and we spent the rest of
the night 'chin-wagging' about his contacts and his ability to receive
telepathically. I didn't record it all - so much of it was already known to me via
my Australian experience (although I had to admit that I took a lot of it 'with a
grain of salt' at the time, for it was happening, yet you didn't quite believe it all
the same.) Meeting Carl and Edwin helped me to come to terms with the
Australian experience; and when I returned, somehow, they already knew that
I'd met these people and was returning with something of interest for them to
hear. I shared the tapes with them with pleasure.
A few others listened to them, and then they began to gather dust on my
shelves. From time to time, Del wrote to me, and Carl exchanged Christmas
greetings; through this I learned that he was writing a book and I wished him
luck - wanting to have a copy when it was published. Several years passed
by........
Then quite suddenly, one Sunday afternoon in the privacy of my 7 acre
garden, I held an unexpected telepathic conversation with two men visitors who
were quite unseen by me, but distinctly felt in their presence. At first I thought
they might have been' 'spirit' visitors - but I was wrong. The conversation
proved that they were people from outer space on a mission that was of a
supervisory nature. The date was April 20th, 1980 ; and following a brief
explanation of their work, I was taken on an 'out - of - the body' experience
which explained so much to me that I believed it was my duty to write about it
all - in full.
My biggest problem was my inexperience in such matters, and as my
frustration grew I decided to take a second trip to South Africa and ask some of
my Aunt's friends if they believed that it was 'that' important to do so. So once
again, I met Carl and Edwin - along with many others.
Carl looked the same but was without his snow-white beard; Edwin and
family still emanated a soft gentleness that I warmed to so much, and I noted
that Edwin's face was 'shining'...... My comment to Del was that Edwin was
much more spiritual than on my first trip; and she agreed. The conversation got
out of hand as references were made to my own experience ( and subsequent
follow-up of stories ) and Edwin either nodded in confirmation, or we agreed
260
that in some areas that we had a difference in the given concept of space travel
and satellite building; and while we were relating these things to each other,
there were also side-line conversations from Cara, Yvette, Del, Ray and my
Mother - Hadeliene Phoenix (who travelled with me on this occassion.)
Before I returned home again I had met other groups who have been
involved with direct outer space contacts. Nina Merrington, Walter Pople and
this group gave me the warmest reception; and here I was invited to speak to a
group of twenty people about my own personal experience; and it was with
them that I left a rough copy of my first manuscript, for there wasn't time to tell
them everything that I had learned. Walter Pople was a scientist,holding several
related degrees as well as a degree in Theology - being a Methodist LayPreacher on occasional Sundays. In meeting him, I felt that my prayers were
answered, for I was concerned about my lack of understanding in relation to
scientific data (which was given to me, yet not altogether understood by me)
and there was so much that related to ancient events as recorded in the Old
Testament, that I also worried about being insufficiently read in this field of
knowledge as well
Walter was a kindly person, and afterward, he assured me that any scientist
who knew his field would understand me perfectly and there was no argument
in him about anything that I'd spoken about; and this included biological
functions and genetic engineering etc... Further to, he didn't believe that I had
crossed the line " Bible-wise in any way - and then he went off for a swim.
An associate came over to me and asked if I had a copy of the talk I'd given
- and I laughed and said " No! 'It had come off the top of my head. " Then,
before I left for Australia, she called to my Aunt's and asked if she could have
one of my manuscripts. I gave her my last one and thought nothing more about
it.
Some months later, after my return home, I gave vent to my frustration of
ever putting words together with any success and burned everything that I'd
written. Of course I regretted it afterward; and wrote to Africa to tell them how
silly I'd been. Walter Pople returned my letter and said that he had taped a copy
of my work and, after reading it for the second time, thought it worthy enough
to keep - and encouraged me to begin again.
I was profoundly 'touched' - for here was a man who had spent twenty
years at University telling me to keep at it.
261
I thought about it all for a while; wondering where to begin again; and
decided to start where I had done so many years beforehand. This was the first
book - and I reached the point where I'd met Carl and thought that I'd better get
in touch with him again and ask if he minded if I wrote about him and the
things he talked about. Some months passed and I gave up hope of hearing
from him and began another book which was a revamp of the rough copy that I
took to Africa about my actual experience and the related stories. This is not yet
complete, but in the meantime, I heard from Carl to say that you are in the
process of publishing his book and that anything I wanted to use about our
meeting MUST be taken up with you personally - and that while I was asking,
I might like to refer to the Transmission we witnessed on the occasion of the
1976 visit.
Well Hr Stevens, I have done so with pleasure. In truth I don't believe I
will be mentioning anything about Carl in this second book that I am currently
writing, so the need to confer with you on this matter is not a point any longer.
However, if my book which is to be called We don't belong Here ! is
received for publication in the future period ahead and further interest is shown
in how I could ever accept many things to be true, then it may follow that my
life story and the paths of interest that have absorbed me for 46 years may be
found to be interesting to others to read. In actual fact, I don't believe any of
this is at all easy to accept as a reality unless 'one' has had their mind slowly
stretched over a period of years.In this manner, you spread your understanding
further afield and comprehend a good deal more than do others who look no
further than the end of their own nose most of their lives.
Cood Luck with Carl's publication. I'll look forward to getting an
autographed copy from him via my Aunt Del who keeps in touch with him
from time to time and who now lives in Pietermatitzburg. Meantime, Walter
Pople contacts me with letter-tapes and it seems to me that I have come into
contact with people who are closely involved with space communication - one
of whom is a lady, personally known to Walter, who heads the Sth African
inquiry into U.F.O's and sits on a world-wide Council of people representing
countries of like interest. According to Walter, "they" KNOW about U.F.O's !
They don't question the facts. Their only question is " Why are they here ?
Walter believes I have been told! It's quite a responsibility; and I'm doing
my best,
Sincerely,
Ms Pamela. S. Cotchin.

END OF THIS INCREDIBLE BOOK, WHICH IS OUT OF PRINT BUT OLD copys may be found.
They told of many spaceships that had crashed in the distant past and now
buried under layers of sand, and that they maybe would be found some day.
